First there was the news about shale-oil... now here's an interesting article from WorldNetDaily:
If true, this would be a total reversal of conventional wisdom that some day, we'd just run out of oil. It doesn't look like wishful thinking either. The article goes on to describe some very compelling arguments for this new theory. It also points out some interesting facts about the old theory as it relates to known evidence that makes the old theory of unrenewable oil look more like wishful thinking among environmentalists.
H/T to VodkaPundit who said:
On a somewhat related note, Jane Galt points out the obvious math when it comes to explaining why hybrid cars don't sell well, and why we still enjoy guzzling gas.
Creating that much oil would take a big pile of dead dinosaurs and fermenting prehistoric plants. Could there be another source for crude oil?Post a Comment
I don't think dinosaurs or fermented plant material has anything to do with crude oil.
I'd tell you about Ivan Velikovsky's theories, but would prefer you dig up one of his old books lest I look like a nutcase. :)
