If this was posted before, I couldn't locate it. I have no idea if this guy is right or not. If he is, the implications are enormous.

For me, it will be almost as gratifying to see another case where the expert consensus of the experts in their area of expertize is shown to be so much bovine fertilizer. And if this isn't such a case? Well, we'll just have to wait till another one does come along.

This article also appeared in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, June 11, 2001, under the title "Oil forever"

Speaking of "weird science," what happened to the guy with the big "change the world" transportation invention that was gonna be announced? They were calling it "IT" as I recall. (Hey, that line should be in the Pirates of Penzance.)

bump for further investigation, looks interesting.

This article is old news and incomplete. Published last year was an article that showed our old, depleted oil wells were being naturally replenished.

The only limited and countable resource out there is human beings. Yet we abort them. We scream about burning virtualy unlimited or at least uncountable fuel, but humans, we don't scream at burning them even though we are very limited in numbers.

You can go back much further than Gold on this theory. The Russian, Oparin, who set up the framework for most of the scientific theory on pre-living evolution, postulated an organic rich layer of material on the earth's surface.

This layer would consist of large quantities of hydrocarbons and would probably be the basis of most of our petroleum sources. [It is likely that methane would not be involved to the extent postulated by Gold.]

RUSH WAS RIGHT!

...however the green cheese quote has me worried.

[F.J. Mitchell]

I have always looked upon the term "fossil fuel" as pure BS.

Scientist stirs the cauldron: oil, he says, is renewable

I WANT to believe him (I really, really want this theory to be true), but I also want more evidence first.

[The Duke]

Hmmmm...this suggests that it is our *duty* to consume fossil fuels!

Are posts being randomly removed from this thread?
I haven't seen anything wrong with any of them.

Please don't break out the tin-foil but Immanuel Velikovsky reasoned that there was vastly too much petroleum for it to have come from fossil sources and wondered at the mechanism that could turn flesh and bone into oil. Instead, he reasoned, it seems much more likely to have condensed with the other constituent elements and compounds that formed the earth and was as randomly distributed as gold deposits.
