Public Outraged As Price Of Fast-Depleting, Non-Renewable Resource Skyrockets

ATLANTA — Americans are expressing their outrage at the soaring price of the non-renewable resource gasoline from the passenger seats of their vehicles across the country. "America means having a right to cheap gas without having to say please," said Augusta, GA resident George Rizner, idling in his Hummer H2 in a protest near the Georgia State Capitol. "What are we supposed to do, walk?" Rizner then did doughnuts in a nearby parking ramp until his vehicle stalled. The public continues to express similar frustration at long lines at gas pumps, constant and disruptive road construction, and increasing traffic gridlock, insisting that all these problems can be easily solved with more and cheaper gasoline.

Ya know, a lot more scientists are starting to think that the idea that oil is dino-juice is wrong.

And it's really a crazy notion if you think about it.

More scientists and people within the oil industry think that oil is made way down in the hot parts of earth, and that via heat and pressure, it seeps to where we can get it. It is there where it accumulates organic material that makes people think it's "Dino Juice."

There's evidence in multiple locations of large oil fields that were once depleted that have filled back up again. As well as mass oil seapage in the Gulf as well.

I think it is probably not "dino-juice" as you put it, but based more in old plant materials. It does certainly seem to be organic (carbon-based), and while there obviously were not enough dead dinosaurs to account for the petroleum under the earth, there has been enough dead plant and animal materials over millions of years to explain it.

I dunno if I'll get a chance before heading to Nashville, but I'll see if I can dig up some literature on the theory behind it.

It sounds a lot more plausible than, "A whole bunch of shit died a long time ago and magically turned into this!" I mean, how can it be so uniform...if it were a natural biological process, you'd think you'd need near uniform conditions for it to ferment nearly the same on all ends of the globe. You'd need the same biological make-up of dino/plant matter, the same conditions... The whole theory just doesn't seem to fit in the puzzle to me.

Actually, it isn't the same all over the world. Look at the oil markets. There's dozens of varieties of oil for sale, named differently for its properties and for where it is found. It all has to be refined, with different processes, to be able to be used as fuel oil or gasoline or other petroleum products useful to people. Crude oil has a lot of dirt and shit in it.

Anyway, I'd be interested in seeing a scientific paper that doesn't say that petroleum has an organic source of some sort or another.

Uh, how good is your organic chemistry?
