So there!
I always wonder - if oil was created once (and not from dead dinosaurs), couldn’t it still be creating itself? In short, a renewable resource?
I think petroleum is produced naturally within the earth. And there is virtually a limitless supply.
I never believed in the Dinosaur “fossil fuel” myth. It never made any sense.
Abiotic.Hydrocarbons.Are.
Finally the truth about Oil. It’s not a fossil fuel, but a natural resource that is arguably being produced as a matter of rock, heat, and pressure.
Finally someone states the truth!
Sorry army officers don’t equate to geologists.
Fossils have been found at 30,000 feet depth. There are no underground undiscovered oceans of oil. By the way fossils have also been found on Mt Everest…of Fish. That doesn’t mean the ocean used to be that deep, it means rock strata can move, be pushed up or down over the eons etc.
It’s a non-renewable fossil fuel…we best get used to that fact because we will deplete it to the point it won’t be available for private consumption one day…or our kids or grandkids day etc.
Just like carbon isn’t something we need to eliminate. If we do, we’re dead meat.
There are massive lakes of methane on Titan, the largest moon of Saturn.
Were there many dead dinosaurs there?
There are oceans of hydrocarbons on the moons of Jupiter and Saturn. I doubt that ancient dinosaurs and savannas created these hydrocarbons.
We have only drilled a few miles into the Earth. We have thousands of years of hydrocarbons under our feet. C02 is PLANT FOOD. The real ‘greening of the Earth’ is with MORE C02.
I’ve known this for decades.
I remember him on some early talk shows in the 90s.
The reason China is building miltary bases in the South China Sea is because there are enormous oil reserves there.
Think about it - there’s been billions of shit-tonnes of biomass created by all the life on earth and it had to go somewhere. It’s all right here.
The topic of abiotic oil was addressed at length in Thomas Gold’s “The Deep Hot Biosphere”. The fossil fuel theory dates from 1759 and we don’t subscribe to many other theories dating from 1759.
Gold posed the question of what did the first life forms use as a food and energy source since photosynthesis had not yet appeared? Naturally occurring hydrocarbons.
Apparently the carbon in the form of carbonates gets regenerated in the Earth’s mantle when it’s sucked in at subduction zones. Otherwise there would be no carbon in the biosphere since it would all be in the form of carbonate rocks.
Probably a byproduct from the Earth’s Core
Yes, I knew that; 11 years ago I was on a date and said that oil was not a fossil fuel. My shocked date said, “if it’s not from dinosaurs what is it?”
“It’s abiotic,” I replied. Just then the waiter brought our food, I had noticed he heard all that. Once you read that and just think about oil for a few minutes it’s easy to figure out it’s not fossil fuel.
40 years ago, I did my science fair project on “what will be the energy of the future.” All the resources said to expect oil to be gone in 20 to 30 years.
Well, here we are, pumping more than ever. I’ve grown to leaning to believe that it is possibly an endless supply of some kind. Seems many people in the oil industry say the same.
The Soviets also had a theory that oil wasn't a fossil fuel. So far, it hasn't worked out well for their theory.
