The Myth of "Fossil" Fuels

Anyone else out there heard of this? I know it's another "conspiracy" thingy but does anyone have an opinion on this? If it's true, it's great news for Petrolheads like myself!

Oil is often called a "fossil" fuel; the idea being that it comes from formerly living organisms. This may have been plausible back when oil wells were drilled into the fossil layers of the earth's crust; but today, great quantities of oil are found in deeper wells that are found below the level of any fossils. How could then could oil have come from fossils, or decomposed former living matter, if it exists in rock formations far below layers of fossils - the evidence of formerly living organisms? It must not come from living matter at all!

Furthermore, if all the plants, insects and animals that ever lived were all squeezed into a massive ooze, there is no way they could have amounted to the volume of oil that has been found to date. They just would not make that much juice. On top of this, oil geochemists will admit, if pressed, that if all the oil wells ever drilled by their so - called scientific methods of divining had been drilled totally at random, they would have found as much oil with random drilling as by " educated " drilling. In other words, there is a lot of oil down there.....most everywhere. Just drill for it - and if you don't strike it, drill a little deeper.

There can only be one answer to the misinformation we have about oil. The oil men have always wanted a monopoly control, and with it, they want to charge as much money as they can for every gallon of gasoline. With this, they gross hundreds of billions of dollars per - year. They want us to believe that our present rate of oil consumption, we have possibly 20 to 30 years before we run out. They make this sound credible with their " decomposed organic matter" fable.

Very interesting theory... If it could be verified/proven, it would lead to some interesting changes in the world...

If only nitrous was included in the above theory! :

well the main arguement about oil occuring below levels that fossils occur at is true... and at the same time there was aquatic fossils found at the very peak of mt everest also, and a lot of other MAJOR mountains... the thing is - no one knows how fossils get to places that they are found at.

how else could oil be made - its chemically and physically different from any other substance found in rock/earth.

not enough animals/plants to create the oil? rubbish. have you ever seen the supposed size most dinosoars were? now can you imagine when the earth was more full than it is now, with larger, stronger plants and animals...

Not to mention the 500-odd MILLION years of life on this planet. Just look at a coal seam and see how only tens of thousands of years is enough to make a fat deposit (think of Latrobe Valley).

500,000,000 >> 50,000 years by a metric arseload...

Very interesting. As years go on there is more and more matter beneath us being fossilised. And they have being saying there is only 30 odd years of oil supply left for 15 years now...

Jeez what a credible source :rolleyes: This guy is a dick head and this article is complete BS. We know how oil was made and what this guy says is just absolute bullshit.
