Methane-Making Microbes Thrive Under the Ice

Understanding the mechanisms for methane synthesis within living organism will let humanity finally take a step towards independence and sustainability. Drilling in these areas will cause shift in entropy localization and a lot more harm than good for us. People, there is no safe method for methane drilling. One can imagine how small methane molecule is, its hydrophobic and only water on top of it which even 5th graders know will keep methane there where it belongs. Its there for purpose. Drilling is not safe, period. Instead I suggest authorities invest time and effort on understanding how biological systems work. You, the one who reads this must know that methane is prevented from being a gas only because it is bounded to your genome, to you DNA. Instead the spectra of science should reorient towards engineering biological machines to make methane by converting sunlight and store that energy into natural gas. That is exactly what methanogens do. The easy way will take is to an dead trap so be careful!
