Swedish crude ping.
How do we test this hypothesis??
The abiogenic theory isn’t new. I wrote a paper on it in school 20 years ago, and I try to interject it into any conversion about oil supplies.
Russians hypothesized this quite some time ago, drilled on the premise, and struck oil.
Kinda kills Peak Oil theory.
not a new theory, and, to me makes more sense than “fossil fuels” ever did.
I have heard this theory talked about for years now. It does explain why there is more crude today in some oil fields that should have (!) played out years ago.
Sorry, I don’t have a source. I just remember that I heard it somewhere.
Oil is now a renewable fuel, lol! Plus, we could always mine Titan.
Eventually, they will figure out this is where life came from as well.
How else can there be crude oil SEVEN MILES below the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico?
I’ve not seen any plate tectonics models that put formerly plant-bearing plates subsuming there.
The problem isn’t the amount of oil...it’s the amount that is allowed to come to market.....
Wow, how interesting! If this is true, doesn’t it blows to smithereens the whole liberal / environmental mindset that we’re using up all the oil and will have to switch to some other source of energy?
Simple: How many planets and moons in our solar system contain methane or other hydrocarbons in their atmospheres?
How many of them have had biological life present on their surfaces at some point in history to account for this if you believe in “fossil fuel”????
Carbon dioxide is still defined as a toxic substance potentially regulated by the EPA.
So don't hold your breath...wait, we NEED to hold our breath...
However, this discovery does not mean that emissions from the combustion of hydrocarbons do not create climate change.
Yeah, I think we're all set with that global warming crazy-talk.
My husband has always said that oil is a renewable resource and he has a very complicated theory. Weren’t we supposed to run out 20 years ago?
Through no scientific testing or even minimal research on my part, I've always considered the idea - that petroleum comes entirely from dinosaurs and plants - was doubtful if not just stupid. I have no idea how much oil/gas can be squeezed out of a brontosaurus or how much humans have burned in the last century but I'd bet a gallon of 30-weight that we've already used more than nature could make from every plant and animal that ever existed.
By now, most anyone with a brain knows that petroleum has to come from some other source than life waste. - How would it ever have gotten into pools, and how would we have so much of it?
Our known reserves have continually increased, year by year, in spite of the incredible volume we consume. Visualize a million barrels of oil - a huge amount, but we use more than that in a day.
