Peak oil! We'll run out by 2020 and must install solar panels and wind turbines everywhere or else. So, just how damn many dinosaurs were there anyway?

The concept that oil and gas are from dinosaurs. That science seems about as true as glowbull warming.

OPEC has basically been castrated, especially as the weaker members need to pump as much as they can to stay afloat.

OPEC never keeps their quotas. Their members cheat..............

Fracking has been done for over 60 years. It is nothing new. However our ability to frac the source shale rock source of oil is relatively new, about 20 years. During the days of insane oil prices a few years ago the price of fracking demanded oil prices above 80 dollars a barrel. The Saudis realized the danger of our massive new reserves and flooded the market with cheap oil to kill fracking in our shale oil reserves. They succeeded in the short term. Our oil industry came back better and leaner and now produces frac oil at 50 dollars a barrel with great profit.

I've always had grave doubts myself about the fossil-fuel theory of oil. Still, I genuinely don't know either what to make of the abiotic oil theory either. Who knows what the hell is going on deep in the bowels of the planet? For example, geologists are saying that the earth contains vast, ancient oceans of water with extremely odd, slow life forms. That's fascinating!
Maybe oil is formed largely by purely chemical processes, after which it seeps nearer the upper crust and is mixed so much with ancient fossil remains that it *looks* if the oil stemmed from those fossil remains with which to begin. Notwithstanding the jeering and hatred for Thomas Gold amongst allegedly "mainstream" scientists, I'm inclined to continue to reserve judgement.
As for the idiotic notion of anthropogenic global warming it's sheer bullpuckey. o_o

So why are the damn gas prices going back up?Up? They dropped about 30 cents more this week in IL and IN, into the $1.85-1.95 range. There are stations at $1.50 in OKC, according to my SIL's FB pics.

I thought Gold was vindicated by played out wells showing signs of refilling, which he theorized.

In California, it is because of increased taxes.

Remember when, was it Sarah Palin? said we could get gas prices back down below $2 a gallon, and everyone laughed?
Well, guess what. Where I am I filled my tank below $2.
They said you can’t drill your way out of an oil shortage, and we said, that’s exactly how you get out of an oil shortage. You drill, baby, drill.
