It is estimated that there may be more methane locked up in sediments containing gas hydrates than all other fossil fuel reserves combined. The total global potential of methane in gas hydrates is uncertain but could be in the range of hundreds of trillion cubic meters. Unlocking this methane poses challenges due to technical, environmental, and economic factors.
Psst! Come in close for this one. There is a secret here. Natural gas, that stuff the utility company pumps into your home, with which you heat the house, water, and cook. That is primarily methane, essentially the same stuff as the stink that comes from manure piles, and is locked in the sea bed. That stuff that the Greenies were complaining about a few years ago was adding to global warming (cow flatuence). In short, yes, methane is a very renewable resource.

The "Bermuda or Devil's Triangle" is an imaginary area located off the southeastern Atlantic coast of the United States, which is noted for a high incidence of unexplained losses of ships, small boats, and aircraft. Dr. Ben Clennell, of Leeds University, England, is not the first to make note of the possibility of methane hydrates as a source for causing ships to disappear, he has become identified with the theory which, on September 21, 1998, at the Festival of Earth Sciences at Cardiff, Wales, he proposed methane hydrates as the future of energy. As a part of his elaborate dissertation he claimed that methane locked below the sea sediments in the Bermuda Triangle can explain the mysterious disappearances. He told how subterranean landslides can unlock the vast beds of methane hydrate. This would be disastrous, he told the audience, because large amounts of methane would reduce the density of the water. "This would make any ship floating above sink like a rock." He went on to explain how the highly combustible gas could also ignite aircraft engines and blow them to pieces. Although I believe a certain percentage of flammable gas to air is required for the atmosphere to become combustible.

Most fresh water is locked up in the form of ice caps and glaciers, primarily in Antarctica and Greenland. These ice formations hold a large portion of the Earth's fresh water, with Antarctica alone containing about 70% of the world's fresh water resources.
Carbon dioxide can get locked in carbonate rocks through processes such as weathering of rocks containing carbonates, which leads to the formation of bicarbonate ions that eventually get precipitated as carbonate minerals (e.g., calcite) in rocks. Over time, this process sequesters CO2 in the form of carbonate minerals in the rocks.

Of a sort. On Titan methane, not water, is present in all three states and functions somewhat like waters does on Earth. It forms clouds, lakes, and rivers and falls as rain and snow. The water on Titan is permanently locked as ice.
Sounds a bit fishy, but you can plug in a flash drive containing another operating system and configure it as your default boot device (BIOS Settings) and then boot to it.
you dont get locked in the museum
