[2012 FLASHBACK] What If Oil and Natural Gas Are Renewable Resources?
American Thinker ^ | March 18, 2012 | Greg Lewis

Posted on 02/17/2017 1:07:51 AM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

President Barack Obama and his green energy confederates are determined to scare the public about a declining supply of "fossil fuels." If we accept the idea that oil is produced by the conversion of organic matter -- from plants to dinosaurs -- under extreme pressure, we must also accept the idea that there is a limited supply of oil and that we've got to do everything we can to find a replacement for fossil fuels before we run out.

The evidence is mounting that not only do we have more than a century's worth of recoverable oil in the United States alone (even if there is a limit to the earth's oil supply), but that we also actually have a limitless supply of Texas tea because oil is in fact a renewable resource that is being constantly created deep under the earth's surface and which rises upward, where microscopic organisms that thrive in the intense pressure and heat miles below us interact with and alter it.

In other words, we have an unending supply of oil, some of which is constantly migrating upward from the depths at which it is created to refill existing oil deposits, and much more of which remains far below the surface. This oil can be recovered using existing technology.

Scientist Thomas Gold presents the decades-old theory of "abiotic" oil-creation, which supports these facts, in his book, The Deep Hot Biosphere....

It’s worth research.

We need to get over our CO2 panic, however, if we want to make, er, liberal use of this. Will the globe, upon seeing all the new CO2 here, spiral up in temperatures so high that it would render the planet unlivable?

There seem to be many clues that it won’t. CO2 is yummies for green plants, among other things. And green plants are yummies for fauna. By simple gas laws, CO2 would be expected to have a mild, but not wild, effect on world temperatures — hardly the sudden deluges and droughts envisioned in an Al Gore scenario. The earth seems to have a way of putting up reflective and shading clouds when it is getting hotter, too. It would be as if it had been engineered to be resilient to fluctuating CO2, and that (in an old earth local chronology) for billions of years. Good enough that some of those very earliest life forms are still with us.

In essence, CO2 “IS” green energy.

Space scientists have referred to remote planets having 'hydrocarbon seas'. Where are the dead dinosaurs and plants on Neptune and its moons?

While we're at it, scientists have also found hydrocarbons well beneath the earth's mantle, way, way below the habitation zone.

In the last two days or so there have been news stories about a giant lake of carbon under the Western U.S. That's a hella lot of dead dinos.

One word shuts down all the carbon hysteria: photosynthesis.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Fossil fuels are simply millions of years of solar energy storage

I remember being taught that the match between the shape of the coasts of SA and Africa was just a coincidence.

And other geologists posit a Pangaea which originally had what were those continents mushed together (mushed being a thoroughly scientific word).

True enough. Green plants won’t be caught flat footed.

They and oil are renewables. The earth’s molten core out gasses long chain hydrocarbons which distills out in pockets. Old wells from decades ago have refilled.

The radiocarbon counts are often not what would be expected of the “dead dinosaur” explanation.

I’m not sure the abiotic theory explains why oil is generally found in geologic basins.

Oil flows to the paths of least resistance... filling the caverns and holes in the earth

The Russians discovered this 6 decades ago
It’s called abiogenic or abiotic oil

The Russians have done the research for us. If they are pumping oil from 40,000 feet down that ought to be all anyone needs to debunk the single source fossil fuel BS. For all we know the molten core may be largely composed of carbon matter.

More like a giant lump of pure carbon (it’s not CO2). Petroleum, coal, cellulose, sugar—all hydrocarbons have that hydrogen thingy attached to the carbon. At the temperature and pressure they are observing, it’s nothing more than compacted soot.

In the last two decades an area equivalent in size to the United States has slowly turned more green, as recorded by satellite observations of the Earth’s surface.
