I tell you “Peak Oil” is coming, / S


How long ago was it that they dropped that lie?

I can barely remember it.

It’s global warming back to the early days of Bush II.

Oil is abiogenic in origin IMO. I know that makes me sound like a kook but there is no other explanation. How did oil get embedded NORTH of Alaska? Dinos lived in lush tree filled jungles. There were no jungle that far north in Pangaea.


It’s called plate tectonics. Continents drift.

Crude oil is filled with molecular fossils of dead things. Shouldn't that end the debate? Coal seams have tree and plant imprints.

Dr. Thomas Gold explained all this in his landmark book THE DEEP HOT BIOSPHERE.

Blows my mind that they can drop a drill 6400’ to the sea floor and bore a hole 29,000’.

“How did dinosaur and fauna remains get to that depth to create oil?”

Okay, for the umpteenth time, OIL DOES NOT COME FROM DINOSAURS! Sheesh.

actually it does “more than 670 feet of net oil pay”. is a hell of a lot of pay dirt.

The Earth is getting fatter.

See! Global warming exists, it made the crust rise! /s

(I would sooner believe the Earth is fattening than in global warming.) I also believe the Earth replenishes oil supplies, from deep below.

There are different kinds of hydrocarbons. The hydrocarbons on Titan aren’t coal, oil or natural gas.

Didn’t you know? Oil is not made by fossils. It is made by pressurized vegetation matter, the same way it’s made in a laboratory.

Big oil has been hoaxing us for decades. Oil wells eventually refill themselves. The Russians know it’s abiotic oil, too.

Big oil has been hoaxing u$.

OIL IS A RENEWABLE RESOURCE. http://www.viewzone.com/abioticoilx.html

It’s so obvious oil is abiotic and renewable.

Oil companies been hoaxing us out of trillions of dollars for decades with the fossil fuel lie.

Hope Trump is man enough to fight junk science, i.e. fossils crap.

Earlier it was reported that the find was by a French company. Maybe Chevron is French owned?

Total Energy is French owned.

Two people can't keep a secret so are how can 10,000 people? They can't.

Petroleum is certainly renewable in the form of saltwater algae grown on the open ocean. The abiotic theory would be useful if it helped find new legacy oil deposits, but it doesn't. Who really cares where it came from? Petroleum is mainly found below where saltwater algae once lived. Coal is found where trees once lived.

LOL, what? You’re saying a multinational company wouldn’t try to keep an economic secret from the public because, literally, trillions of dollars are at stake?

Please grow up.

Abiotic oil is actual science. Big oil has been hoaxing us out of trillions for decades. Disprove the science, (and then quit being a coincidence theorist).
