"What If Oil and Natural Gas Are Renewable Resources? By Greg Lewis"

=====

Not ABIOTIC OIL again ??!!

Let's assume for a moment that this theory is correct .. ie the planet is constantly
producing extractable hydrocarbons from a non biologic source ..

We extract/produce/consume approximately 85 million barrels per day or
31 BILLION barrels per year ..

There can be no natural or unnatural planetary process that produces new hydrocarbons
at anywhere near the rate that humans extract/produce/consume this resource ..

If such a process did in fact exist; then we would be knee deep in the stuff ..
Hydrocarbons would be ubiquitous .. Do the MATH !!

Triff ..
