Rush said this years ago. That man was a prophet.
I never believed that. I always believed it was indeed water draining down into the earth and being cooked. I started believing after stories emerged in the early 80s from texas oil fields that said depleted wells they thought were dead/empty were infact completely full and some were actually over flowing.

The hatred of hydrocarbons and the use of renewables is all about depopulation, not the environment.
Renewables (wind, solar, electric cars) are increasing surface mining and environmental damage.
Hydrocarbons are being extracted with the smallest impact to the environment than ever before and have reduced the need for surface mining.
The high cost and unreliability of renewables will lead to food shortages and poverty. Poverty leads to cutting trees for energy, killing wild animals for food and more environmental damage.
But this is not about the environment. Earth is greener now than ever before. It is easier to feed everyone than ever before.
Renewables will change that so populations will have to shrink.
That is their goal. Fewer people, more control, less education so the global masters can be served without the threat of revolution.
Oil exploration is a young geological science and always improving daily.
Oil drilling has changed dramatically since the 1950s. The productivity increases are exponential.
Renewables have barely doubled in productivity since the 1980s.
Back in the 1990s, “dry” oil wells were discovered to have refilled.. Geologists started to understand that oil is still being produced by the Earth.
Shale oil is also relatively new. Extracting shale oil/gas is increasing in efficiency and productivity as well.
Hydrocarbons are reducing the need for surface mining. Renewables are increasing the need for surface mining.
I wish the article was true. It is not. See tag line.
Yes, I remember that as well. I have long believed this.

No he was not - this news about abiotic oil formation was available 20 years ago.
Its been true for a long time. The Russians have known this, Thomas Gold knew it, and many producers in West Texas have spoken of this.
By the way...argumentum ad verecundiam doesnt work here.
Lol...do better
Tru dat... recall this too. Release all documentation, make information free for a free people.
Something tells me this won’t be on the evening news.
I wouldn’t hang my on hat on this quite yet.
This article is actually a 2015 article that references a 2008 Nature article discussing what was found by researchers in 2003.
Yes, they found hydrocarbon compounds absent carbon 14, which is what you find in the decomposing sources.
But they did not find anything remotely resembling an oil field or gas plume. What they found amounted to some chemicals in the fluid spewing from hydrothermal vents in concentrations that “were too low to detect without a filter”.
So, while this is interesting, there is no indication in the article, or elsewhere since the time it was published, that any field we’re able to tap has this type of hydrocarbon.
Meaning everything we are actually able to use is the dead critter variety.
For a long time a question about oil and gas being produced from organic matter bothered me and I mean from a young age and that question went something like this
It seemed to me that for organic matter to turn to oil and gas required a very specific set of conditions otherwise there would be oil under every yard
The idea that things like decaying dinosaurs or any animal matter could achieve those conditions was absurd. Just look how fast that deer on the side of the road turns to nothing and I am supposed to believe that somehow piles of dead dinosaurs managed to get buried before they decayed and ended up 4,5,6…12000 feet below the ground and were turned into “fossil fuels” was ridiculous
Which brought me to the last point let’s say that all this organic matter is responsible for all the oil and gas and there was enough of it all in the right conditions to be turned into black gold, how the heck did it manage to get so deep under the ground and still be intact with the right geological structures to keep it intact to be pulled out in the huge amounts it has been extracted. Seemed implausible even to my young mind.
Then I read the article on abiotic production and it all clicked. God in all His wisdom made the earth a hydrocarbon producing machine
And like all the other blessing bestowed on us the left in their deranged minds throw it away
“It’s semi retarded to decide that oil and gas can only be formed from dinosaurs.”
Would use unscientific rather than semi-retarded, but you are right. Methane exists in abundance naturally in our own solar system on the moons of other planets where there were never any dinosaurs or life as we know it. There’s no reason why earth didn’t share in this abundance.
It is true the the hydrothermal vents do produce some hydrocarbons. They are released into the ocean and microbes eat it as a source of food. These vents are not a source of the petroleum we produce. How many oilwells are in Hawaii or Iceland? Hawaii sits on an oceanic hotspot and is the largest volcano on earth. Iceland is the top of the Mid-Atlantic rift and is all volcanic. Not one drop of oil has been produced from either.
could be too close to the heat or the rock isnt compatible with the process... where as the middle east, no volcanos and a huge sand filtration system before the water gets to the hot spots... just throwin it out there...
Jerome Corsi’s recent book “The Truth about Energy, Global Warming, and Climate Change: Exposing Climate Lies in an Age of Disinformation” has an excellent chapter on abiotic oil, drawing much from Thomas Gold’”The Deep Hot Biosphere: The Myth Of Fossil Fuels.”
I read Gold’ book shortly after its publication in the late 1990s and haven’t used the term “fossil fuel” since then.
Did you know that the earth is FILLED with single cell organisms that eat rock?
Or that there is more water inside the earth than in all the oceans?
Keep up man.
so if you quote argumentum ad verecundiam, then you must believe all the “mainstream science”.
Like global warming. because the “Official” experts have been paid off.
