Summary: There is a lot of very accessible methane hydrate in frozen form off the coasts of India and China. Carbon dioxide can displace the methane in the ice. As a non-technical article I don't entirely trust it, but it does seem like there is a way to extract energy from the ocean floor while safely and permanently storing our CO2 below the ocean floor.
