Am I totally out to lunch on what you're referring to as gas hydrates??

Sorry, but not even close.

Gas hydrates are (in a quick 1 sentence explanation) a mix of ice and gas that you find under certain pressure/temperature regions (cold and high pressure).

There are Immense volumes of gas locked up in hydrates at the bottom of the ocean, and in the arctic, but they are obviously pretty hard to get at right now.

That's the problem, I don't seen them being viable large scale source of gas for quite some time, simply because of the resources that have been unlocked in shales, that are enormously easier to get at.
