Oil is much more useful as a raw material for plastic than as a way to power SUVs. Wind farms 30-50 miles off the coast would be a major producer of energy. TP

Yes cosmic the point I was trying to make was of change over geologic time. I really don't know much about the formation of oil and not many do either, I don't think..<g>.. After all these years, as I understand it, there is still a lot of discussion of how liquid hydrocarbons form from the kerogens.. And that is just the beginning, then you need migration to a resevoir with good porosity, permeability, and finally a trapping mechanism, structural, stratigraphic, etc.. And all that jazz. All together a unique process.. I better quit, as I'm no ahl n' gas man, with lots of oil on my hair and gas in my belly.. <g> I know that gold n' silver bidness.. :) Take care, m P.S. Here's a fun little clip about the earth's change. Think Pangaea.. ucmp.berkeley.edu
