so what about all the petroleum on Titan, or the methane on Jupiter, or Saturn? Dinosaurs & swamps yes?

Last I checked, Exxon isn't exploring for oil on Titan. Recovery costs are a bit too high to be profitable. But give Pelosi time, and that might change.

The point is, we are looking for oil and gas here. There is a lot of science involved on the subject. I was studying to be a petroleum geologist when the oil bust of the mid eighties hit. How much have you studied this subject?

Yes exactly. All the components of oil and gas are found in HUGE quantities on other planets, proving that oil & gas are a natural mineral.

It’s the geology that finds the oil. Texas oilmen will tell you if you drill a kink in the well it makes the oil come up faster. There’s no scientific backing to it, but they’ll swear by it anyway, and spend plenty of money doing it. Industries are often like that

Oil & gas are also found in places where as far as science is concerned, there has never been significant amounts of life, like north Alaska, so that’s that argument out the window!
