Easier to find oil ( Abiogenic ? )

does not matter...our messiah and the fakirs in charge in the Senate and the House wants us to be a 3rd world kingdom of poor serfs, beholding to the rulers for everything....and using donkeys and goats to pull our little carts to market to sell our baubles.

This debate has been going on for a while. I’m no expert, so my opinion is not worth much but here it is anyway. Evidence that I have read seems to suggest that oil really is actually produced by the planet. I think Thomas Gold was the guy that first wrote about this.

As someone who has spent his whole career looking for the stuff, I wish it were that easy.

the democRATS’ Cap and Trade scheme is not based oil supply but on consumption. We could have oil coming out of our Barackholes and they would still want cap and trade.

Peak lack of oil!

The idea that the massive amounts of oil already extracted and that remain in the earth are all simply dead dinosaurs and pre-historic plants is laughable.

—there are no doubt many details of which we are unaware, of processes below about 25000 feet in the crust of the earth-—

The problem with the abiogenic theory is that it cannot predict where to look for oil.

[dalereed]

No need to find any, just exterminate the environmentalists and use the hundreds of years of known oil in California!
