That Alaskan oil that we are not allowed to drill... how did it get there? File that question under the heading, “Things that make you go, ‘Hmmmm?’”
Do we really...REALLY know that oil ONLY comes from 'dead' things?
Part of the reason that you may find oil at northern latitudes is “continental drift”. At one time all the world’s landmass was along an equatorial belt and began moving & breaking apart.
Was watching a program about Loch Ness. Apparently that portion of Scotland was once adjacent to what is now NY State. It drifted toward Europe, slamming into what is now England, thereby creating the conditions from which “Braveheart” arose. (sorry couldn’t resist that last part. Scottish ancestry, y’know!)
