Bart, can't you accept the idea of literary license? Facts are SO limiting! :O)

No, not at all precisely, and that's a detail to my point about gold being made of oil: <Do you know the energy data from the average miner income statement or not? It was an honest question. > If the miner owns a car, they'll use something like 2000 litres of petrol, at $2 a litre - $4000. They heat their house. They eat food. They build their house. It all takes oil. If you measure things by weight rather than dollars, you will see that there is a LOT of oil, coal, methane, excavated. There is [I guess] more weight of oil/coal/gas produced than anything else. Miner food weighs about 800 kilograms a year [at 2 kg a day of food eaten - quite hungry miners]. Just their petrol weighs more. Gold is made of oil. [near enough for government work and even for TJ gold mine project] Mqurice
