Many very large discoveries have been made by the Russian’s using the INORGANIC origin idea.
A basic introduction to the Inorganic origin of hydrocarbons is available in a title “The Deep Hot Biosphere” by Thomas GOLD

There is no vast majority of scientists supporting Peak Oil or Global Warming. There are merely a handful making declarations while thousands speak out against it:

NO 'Consensus' on "Man-Made" Global Warming

Yeah, right, the vast majority of the scientific community is in on a giant hoax, and they're all holding their secrets, because obviously betting against energy producers is really profitable for scientists. That sounds reasonable.

Here in the real world where science actually means something, we need to get prepared better.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/106191-peak-oil-s-bell-is-ringing?source=feed#comment-312092 312092 Fri, 21 Nov 2008 17:00:17 -0500
Unconventional reserves are only viable when oil is at least $60/bbl,, higher for some types. At that price other energy sources are a better (and cheaper) long-term bet. Oil is not a good long-term bet for an energy supply. The pricing will be volatile in the meantime and not necessarily beneficial to long term exploration.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/106191-peak-oil-s-bell-is-ringing?source=feed#comment-309637 309637 Wed, 19 Nov 2008 07:47:07 -0500

"The economic value of energy just doesn't depend very strongly on raw energy content as conventionally measured in British thermal units. Instead it's determined mainly by the distance between the BTUs and where you need them, and how densely the BTUs are packed into pounds of stuff you've got to move, and by the quality of the technology at hand to move, concentrate, refine and burn those BTUs, and by how your neighbors feel about carbon, uranium and windmills. In this entropic universe we occupy, the production of one unit of high-grade energy always requires more than one unit of low-grade energy at the outset. There are no exceptions. Put another way, Eroei--a sophomoric form of thermodynamic accounting--is always negative and always irrelevant. "Matter-energy" constraints count for nothing. The "monetary culture" still rules."

First of all oil and natural gas are abiotic. This should be obvious to any rational person who can comprehend the sheer amounts of the resources in question. There is absolutely no way any reasonable amount of biomatter could have produced these quantities of oil and gas. It is simply impossible for a biological process of any kind. It is completely ludicrous and there is absolutely no proof whatsoever that there has ever been even 1 tenth of 1 percent of the biomatter necessary to produce this much oil. Yes oil is most definately abiotic. However, it is produced in very small quantities each year, making it finite for all intents and purposes. Go to youtube and type in "conspiracy of science" if you want to Begin to understand where oil really comes from.

Second, and this is where people really show their ignorance: one cubic mile of oil per year is totally and grossly unsustainable. There is no question of that. So many dominoes have to line up in the proper direction just to get production that high. And now those dominoes are falling en mass. It is ending. But it will take a long time to go from our current one cubic mile per year production to the one cubic furlong of oil that we'll be producing 50 years from now. Note that even one cubic furlong is a heck of a lot of oil. There will always be some amount of oil production, and small pockets of civilization supported by it. But for the unwashed masses, there is only enslavement and dieoff waiting for them.

The third and most important point is that it IS possible to maintain an advanced civilization of 6-50 billion people given our current allocation of resources. The current economic depression is gifting us with the largest energy supply glut in history. But we seem doomed to fail to take advantage of such gifts. Instead we will allow ourselves to be controlled by eugenics and transumanist propaganda and misled into giving away freedoms and fighting wars and bla bla bla. The species needs to wake up and realize the level of control and power wielded by secret societies. This will ultimately be humanity's undoing. People cannot objectively look at themselves the way we look at an ant colony or a petry dish full of bacteria. That makes them extremely vulnerable to manipulation, including incredibly advanced forms of manipulation.

There are great occult forces at work, and it is possible and absolutely necessary to design a society in acknowledgement of these forces, in such a way that nullifies their power without ever knowing exactly who or what they are. It doesnt matter who or what the illuminati is. The force itself may not even be of human origin. But such knowledge is not necessary to nullify its power. Nothing in history has ever proven so fatal as willful ignorance. ]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/106191-peak-oil-s-bell-is-ringing?source=feed#comment-308942 308942 Tue, 18 Nov 2008 11:30:07 -0500
That doesn't mean oil production won't peak. It doesn't mean that oil is being produced (by bacteria or whatever) in any meaningful quantities right now. But it does mean that dismissive conclusory statements about "peak oil" mostly serve to illustrate the ignorance of the utterer.

Oh well. It's not like SA's standards are particularly high these days.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/106191-peak-oil-s-bell-is-ringing?source=feed#comment-308813 308813 Tue, 18 Nov 2008 09:42:47 -0500
They have the audacity to tell the physicist that cold fusion can be done and that some guru actually did it on his kitchen table. Of course, a conspiracy among scientists is repressing these results.

They will tell the climatologist that his 30,000 year old ice cores and fossils are meaningless because the earth tilts on its axis or something. Of course, a conspiracy among scientists is repressing these results.

They will tell the professional petroleum engineer and the geologist that there is an infinite amount of oil off the coast of Florida that is being produced by the earth's crust, rather than ancient organic material. Of course, a conspiracy among scientists is repressing these results.

They will tell tens of thousands of expert biologists that living things that are better adapted to their environment DO NOT reproduce at a higher frequency than living things that are less adapted to their environment, that mutations and genetic combinations DO NOT result in differences in adaptability, and that the earth is 5,000 years old. Of course, a conspiracy among scientists is repressing these results.

They tell their doctor, who studied medicine for a friggin decade, that their herbal supplements can cure cancer. Of course, a conspiracy among scientists is repressing these results.

Ladies, give up your makeup - it's petroleum based too.

We're not at peak oil, there are billions of barrels in the US - we're at peak "willingness to drill." big difference.

"efficient solar" will provide 2.5%, a glorious 2.5% of power in 2020. Rolling blackouts anyone?

Emphasis should be put on cleaner coal which with better catalytic capabilites is easily achievable - a 10% reduction in coal emissions negates ALL, yes, ALL, alternative energy options deployed.



There is NO global warming, there are only cyclical changes - you know what they're finding under those receding ice floes? Villages, civilizations, implying that this has happened before. Our earth's rotation and axial tilt cause these changes not us.

Now, is pollution bad? of course, but it's not global warming - the two are non sequitirs.

So, less pollution good, global warming, fake. Nice try. And there's no point in driving toxic Priuses and using Mercury Laden fluorescent bulbs that are far more poisonous to our environment than nuclear energy. ]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/106191-peak-oil-s-bell-is-ringing?source=feed#comment-308683 308683 Tue, 18 Nov 2008 07:58:14 -0500 seekingalpha.com/artic...

If politicians don't solve the problem markets will. (painfully so) Natural gas is the bridge for the US. It will buy us plenty of time to invent our way to the next bridge.

Will we give free markets a helping hand and invest in changes ahead of time?
I doubt it, but we'll get there one way or the other.

This pointy head argument has been made since the famines of the middle ages. Freedom and, invention and free enterprise is the ultimate answer. As long as these elements survive a socialist administration, we'll be OK. Actually, this is one area where a small dose applied government investment and leadership would really help.

There, I said it, I'm a socialist for a day. And i didn't even have to invoke the convenient lie of global warming.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/106191-peak-oil-s-bell-is-ringing?source=feed#comment-308453 308453 Mon, 17 Nov 2008 21:02:09 -0500 http://seekingalpha.com/article/106191-peak-oil-s-bell-is-ringing?source=feed#comment-308414 308414 Mon, 17 Nov 2008 19:22:15 -0500
Both of the scripts being run by the Google Corporation on Seeking Alpha have been flags as unsafe by my computer security software.

There is another script that is also being run by Seeking Alpha from nuconomy.com that is flagged by security protection software as a privacy concern. Now I have to use a computer at an Internet cafe to post on their computers. Crazy!

Is Seeking Alpha now violating privacy of posters, or reporting back to Paulson, Pelosi and Frank who is posting what against them? LOL!


PEAK OIL:

Peak Oil is now. Here is the problem our world economies face:

1. World falls into a deep recession or depression and oil goes DOWN.

2. Economies recover and oil goes UP. Then...

3. High oil prices drive economies into another recession or depression.

Over and over it will go until we can all find renewable energy resources, but keep in mind that it will be impossible, with current technology, to live like we've been living for the past several decades with cheap energy.

GREAT ARTICLE! Good to see this pointed out, especially as we've seen oil price plunge. It is only TEMPORARY. ]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/106191-peak-oil-s-bell-is-ringing?source=feed#comment-308340 308340 Mon, 17 Nov 2008 17:50:22 -0500 http://seekingalpha.com/article/106191-peak-oil-s-bell-is-ringing?source=feed#comment-308336 308336 Mon, 17 Nov 2008 17:47:03 -0500

The left has one answer for all problems ---go without. Conservation is not the answer to anything.

Stalin had a problem --not enough food. He solved it by starving 20 million people. Go without and solve the problem.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/106191-peak-oil-s-bell-is-ringing?source=feed#comment-308185 308185 Mon, 17 Nov 2008 15:35:46 -0500
That's funny. Is that how our highway system was built, thereby ensuring dependence on oil-based transportation? How about the GI Bill and homeowner incentives after WWII? How about all those manufacturing jobs pushed into existence by the war? How about our arrangements with oil supplying nations, and the wars we fight over it (and pay for)? There never was a truly free market involved in creating our economy. There is no such thing as a free market now. Trying to solve problems by deregulating one tiny part of the global economy ignores the reality that nothing exists in a vacuum.]]> http://seekingalpha.com/article/106191-peak-oil-s-bell-is-ringing?source=feed#comment-308112 308112 Mon, 17 Nov 2008 14:08:31 -0500 http://seekingalpha.com/article/106191-peak-oil-s-bell-is-ringing?source=feed#comment-308109 308109 eliminate wars and we can postpone the exhaustion of petroleum.

Control unrestrained population growth? You sound Hitlerian!! Maybe you should start with yourself -- maybe I consider you to be "excess population". Who decides? It is NOONE'S right to decide for anyone else how many children they should have. Period. Violating the intrinsic rights of the human person is never the solution to economic or political problems!!
