I just finished reading:
"The Deep Hot Biosphere : The Myth of Fossil Fuels"
By Thomas Gold [Forward by Freeman Dyson]

Remember back in the 70's that the media kept stating we'd be out of oil in the next 15 years? Kind of like the next coming ice age?

Well, Dr. Gold has worked and studied to prove that petroleum is NOT a "fossil fuel" in a limited supply wherever dinosaurs and plants were covered up and rotted into oil. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to know the truth.

The reviews:

"There is much to be said about this important book. Gold exhibits the irreversible and universal genius that we recognize in Aristotle and Leonardo da Vinci. The versatility and range of knowledge exhibited is remarkable. The Deep Hot Biosphere is a highly interesting and important book; it should be required reading for every geology student." (David Deming, Journal of Scientific Exploration, Vol. 17 (2), 2003)

"Thomas Gold is a physicist who is not afraid of controversy. His big new theory is that oil and natural gas are produced by geology and chemistry of the hot deep layers below the Earth's surface. The book is the best kind of science writing: contentious and passionate, with all the evidence there for you to weigh up." (New Scientist, August, 2001)

In the book:

It appears as if the Russians are making monkeys out of us westerners. They now have over 300 ultra deep oil wells producing oil from as far down as 40,000 feet. Way beyond any possibility of finding sludge from dead dinosaurs and old rotting cabbage patches. Russia is now the world's #1 oil producer handily surpassing Saudi Arabia. Speaking Of Saudi Arabia - known reserve estimates there have been increased yet again.

The skeptics continue to amuse and embarrass themselves as Viet Nam now joins the club of oil producing nations pumping from areas western "experts" proclaimed oil-free based on geology.

Eugene Island is an underwater mountain located about 80 miles off the coast of Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico. It is refilling itself from deep fissures.

Jean Whelan, a geochemist and senior researcher with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute assigned to study the Eugene field. Becoming familiar with the phenomenon, she said " . . .. I believe there is a huge system of oil just migrating deep underground"

By every measure - known oil reserves are INCREASING despite vastly increased demand.

I will check his book out, because all the evidence I have seen tells me the same thing. Again I believe those who deny there in plentiful amounts of oil are like the Global Warming nuts. They are all Flat earthers.

and it’s not as if dinosaurs are the only fossils.

last time I checked, animals and people are still dying.
