This sounds promising:

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Today’s technology could extract enough untapped natural gas, frozen in Alaska’s North Slope, to heat millions of homes for years, federal officials announced Wednesday.
An estimated 85.4 trillion cubic feet of “undiscovered, technically recoverable gas” is frozen in the state’s North Slope region, according to a U.S. Geological Survey study released by the Interior Department. The deposits could heat more than 100 million homes for a decade, the study says.
“The assessment points to a truly significant potential for natural gas hydrates to contribute to the energy mix of the United States and the world,” said Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne. “This study also brings us closer to realizing the potential of this clean-burning natural gas resource.”
However, the study warned that further research is needed to determine the long-term impacts of the natural gas hydrates — essentially methane gas trapped in ice.

Thaw, baby, thaw!
