However, everytime I raise this theory, many here pooh-pooh it.

Just because you say something doesn't mean it is true. This article only suggests that methane could possibly be produced... but to say that all hydrocarbons are created via another process instead of organic means seems to be a stretch of the imagination. Just ask any paleontologist who works for an oil company.

On threads like these, people are violently allergic to anyone who might actually have any idea of what they're talking about.

That's actually where I first heard of this theory, many years ago. I was shocked, at the time, to hear it.

I no longer believe there is any shortage "crisis" in the near future. There's lots of oil, the biggest problems are the politics and mechanics of drilling it, not any shortage of supply.
