"Don't you know we'd be drowning in spit"

Thanks for the thoughtful reply ..
I'm not sure I understand your point ..
Is your intent to just insult my "linear thinking" or do you
support the author's contention that fossil fuels are a renewable resource ??

The evidence is mounting that not only do we have more than a century's worth of recoverable oil in the United States alone (even if there is a limit to the earth's oil supply), but that we also actually have a limitless supply of Texas tea because oil is in fact a renewable resource that is being constantly created deep under the earth's surface and which rises upward, where microscopic organisms that thrive in the intense pressure and heat miles below us interact with and alter it.

In other words, we have an unending supply of oil, some of which is constantly migrating upward from the depths at which it is created to refill existing oil deposits, and much more of which remains far below the surface. This oil can be recovered using existing technology.

I don't dispute the claim that there may be a planetary mechanism that can and has
been continuously producing extractable hydrocarbons .. I DO take issue with the apparent
conclusion that this is evidence to support BAU going forward .. I don't see evidence that
this planetary hydrocarbon production process offsets man's extraction/consumption rate
of the resource base .. regardless of origin ..

Triff ..
