IMHO we are already exploiting this resource. Petroleum doesn't come from dinosaurs, it is created when hydrocarbons from this source are subducted and under intense pressure and heat become petroleum. Hence petroleum is a RENEWABLE resource. Hence there is no justification for the exorbitant price Saudis have ARBITRARILY placed on it. Time for a decrease in the pump price. It is only loopy lefties who allow this fiction of oil not being renewable to exist.

My wife is a geologist, and she agrees with the idea that petroleum does not come from dinosaurs and dead plants. Where it does come from she's not sure, but she agrees with the idea that petroleum may very well be a renewable resource.
