Eric, I find that when someone uses the word "respectively" (proper word would be "respectfully") they are really saying "listen you bonehead, you don't know what you are talking about". You can drop the polite facade. I saw the "moron" comment. The rate of subduction in most areas is a couple inches or so a year. In most places much, much less. Off the coast here it gets burned up as it goes about 50 miles plus down. Oil can't exist at a couple thousand degrees F! Yeah, we always hear how a couple of inches just ain't that much. But I hear that thickness does count. Just how thick is that couple of inches that is being subducted?...oh and isn't it like....thousands of miles of very thick "couple inches"??? I think you should look into oil formation before you go much further down this path. See, the heat from the mantle/crustal boundary is needed to form the oil. It can also be formed with the heat generated by asteroid impacts. But let's talk about cost and challenge of extraction in the future. But first, what about those miners in Chile!?!? pretty spectacular story if you ask me. Those guys were buried down 2200' feet. 10 years ago those guys would have been dead because the technology simply wasn't there to drill a 28" diameter hole down 2200' feet to bring those guys to safety. Sorry, just a little diversion...we were talking about the technological and cost challenges of extracting oil in deep water. 100 years ago extracting oil in water of any depth would have been too expensive and technologically impossible. But like the advances in PV technology, there are advances in exploration and drilling technologies. So i would suggest that you again have no idea what you are talking about. $20 per gallon? Are those obama inflated dollars? Cuz I think we will have a lot of those in the next two years.
