Have you heard of the Abiotic Theory of the origin of oil? Well I have not until I read this article in WorldNetDaily.

 

The still prevailing theory is that oil is the result of fossil fuels created from dead dinosaurs and long dead forests that became hydrocarbonized via intense pressure then became an oil deposit beneath the earth’s crust within sedimentary rock.

 

The Abiotic Theory is that small organisms as small as plankton vent hydrocarbons continuously as a byproduct of the earth. This theory is less supported by the scientific community; however data is beginning to win support.

 

My thinking is it is the Fossil Fuel Theory or the Abiotic Theory is irrelevant. The first propagates the idea that oil is not a renewable source and the latter propagates the concept that oil is a renewable source.

 

Whether one or the other is correct the conclusion is not beneficial for mankind. Fossil Fuel Theory means that Mohammedans that hate the West has a strangle hold on some of the last deposits of fossil fuels. The Abiotic theory means there is a location somewhere of undiscovered oil (probably on some ocean floor) that is part of a continuing natural renewal process.

 

My sense is oil as the world’s primary source of energy is bad for humanity. Whether oil is renewable or non-renewable it is a source of pollution and world tension in acquiring it.

 

Oil must be relegated to an optional source of energy as coal has become to find less foreign dependence on energy and hopefully curtail the expulsion of constant pollutants into the air.
