They no doubt have the same conversation and wonder why we haven't contacted them.

We can't because we have only developed EM communication. You'll only find that on primitive worlds and there, only for about 100 - 200 years before superior methods are developed. EM can't even get beyond the outer solar system because of the scattering dust dilutes the signal being sent out by the boondogglers at SETI. It wouldn't matter anyway. Who will respond to the Borneo native drums as they pound out, "give us pigs, give us taro, give us wampum, give us wimmen, give us likker"?

I'm busy with summer and investments.

How can one be involved with savings accounts? Don't they have to be lefty alone. Wasn't that your point?

That's also one of my contributions to the theory of oil.

There's no record of that, but there are records of my making that claim 27 years ago.

"The Stone Age came to an end not for a lack of stones and the oil age will end, but not for a lack of oil." --- Yamani.

I have an astro geophysical argument, while he only has the Saudi oil reserves, which, by the way, are ten times as large as the Sauds would ever admit. And those reserves are so well pre-refined, that they need little cracking and no desulfuring.

Not that that has much consequence. The Sauds don't even want to know what they really have, so it remains "shut in". It is better for the possible long term need and for extending a possible long term need to be able to supply for Saudi arabia, to not go there. That's all Saudi Arabia has, at least in their present conception of themselves. So the world wide demand supply equation is not impacted by these possibilities. What counts there is current drilling prospects to pull up new oil. What doesn't really count is how much is in the crust, Hubbert's Peak, and all the rest of the hysteria flying around to bring about an outcome no one wants.

Many of us seem to have contributed that part of the theory of oil.

It is said, say, in Wikipdia, that Thomas Gold's students didn't carry on his work, "Astrophysicist Thomas Gold ref|Gold1999 was one of the abiogenic theory's most prominent proponents in recent years in the West. Thomas Gold died in 2004, with apparently none of his students following up on his research. Joe Vialls ref|www.vialls.com.228 died in 2005. The passing of the torch may go to Dr. Jerome R. Corsi, author of 'Black Gold Stranglehold', or Dr. Jack Kenney of Gas Resources Corporation." However, I had formulated a very different theory about 30 years ago and I wasn't aware of Gold's work. I was aware of his work on Steady State Cosmology, so it came as a surprise when I discovered some years later his abiogenic petroleum origin ideas. My view is different because it goes beyond a crustal process. The crust is formed while the oil is cooked. They're part of the same process. Indeed, petroleum can be formed in interstellar space after GRB or supernova, but mostly it's created with the creation of the solar system.

I should add that there's hundreds of interesting ideas down this line which are gaining momentum over time. All of them imply the same thing: the amount of oil is relatively unlimited. You just need the right price to get what is demanded. You don't get that price with war on wealth 'crats preventing it by law.
