Another huge source, soon to be tapped is solid methane hydrate deep under the ocean floor. Enough to last a 1000 years or more IIRC the last estimates I read. Right now they are already finding it, and having problems when it turns up with oil in ultra deep offshore wells, as it wants to go from solid to gas (explosively pressure wise) at critical pressures as the oil is pumped up to the surface.
