Running out of oil

from JoeUser Forums

I have heard this argument since the 70’s where idiot environmentalist tried to kill the use of oil by saying that we are running out of oil. The dirty little secret is that we can’t run out of oil. Just like the lies told of global warming, global cooling, and global climate change we were lied to in order to advance an agenda.

Oil is created not from fossils but from organisms that feed on the dead animals and they excrete petroleum products such as methane gas, and crude oil. The mentally deficient environmentalist liars dismissed this new discovery as big oil telling lies to increase profits. Let’s forget that the discovery was made before the environmental movement was formed. Forget the fact that hydrocarbons have been discovered on a moon in orbit around Jupiter and proving that it occurs naturally in the universe. Forget my friends that every time we say we have found all the oil on the planet we find more deposits. The last one found in which is about the size of the Saudi fields. We have more oil than man kind will ever need and has the most of it in the world. The nut cases of the environmental movement won’t let us get at that oil.

So if you are paying too much for gas, here is who you point the fingers of blame.

Since the Democrats took over the Congress oil prices have skyrocketed, until we are allowed to build more refineries it does not matter how much oil we have we still have to ship it out of the to be refined into gasoline which keeps the price higher than it would be if we refined our own. The use of nuclear power plants would reduce our need for oil to heat our homes and power our nation. An industry destroyed because we had a democrat running things. We have never had a nuclear accident while we have had a republican in office.

If you want to save the planet then stop fighting progress. You are supposed to be progressives but you don’t seem to be making any progress. Maybe you should call yourselves regressives?

The bottom line is that oil is not replenished as fast as we use it.

It takes alot more work to get to deeper oil, oil companies usually only drill out the top portion, the deeper you try, the most expensive it gets.

We need to either find ways to use it more efficiently or find an alternative source.

We have oil within our borders that we can’t get at because we have environmentalist blocking every step. It is not deep, it is not off shore, there is a huge deposit in North Dakota as soon as it was reported the green people started putting up legal blocks to getting it. There are no endangered field mice there but we still can’t drill for it. At least 50 years of oil there and no way to get it till the legal challenges stop.

We need to either find ways to use it more efficiently or find an alternative source.

And until then what do we do? Continue to pay 5 or 15 dollars a gallon while we wait to find new fuel sources? Use what we have until we find something new. Not drilling is only costing us and not helping. I could understand if there was an alternative and we were not using it but that is not the case.

Do you have any idea how long it takes for oil to be created naturally?
I mean, like, wow.

Paladin77, having actually done work in the oil industry and worked with exploration geophysicists... I guess it would be generous to say that they would laugh at your claims.

It's so full of kook I'm not even sure where to begin.  I guess I could forward your post to some geophysicists I know, but they are so busy trying to dig oil out of the ground... if only they knew that they could just grow the right kind of mold and not have to worry about exploding oil rigs and drilling 100 million dollar dry wells! 

Nah, I should probably just sit on the amazing discovery you talk about.. it would just ruin their day (and they're in Houston and are already having a crappy week).


You're right about Jupiter, though.  Truly unbelievable amounts of hydrocarbons there.  Got any plans for transporting it back to Earth?  But actually, I think there are a few nearby nebulae that have even more hydrocarbons... all you have to do is invent faster-than-light travel.  Now go get crackin'!  Show those crazy liberal environmentalist tree huggers what real men are made of!

Hmm, works in the Oil Industry - wife works for IBM - any other outrageous unsubstantiated claims?

Would you mind letting me in on your field of expertise in the oil industry? My son is an economist for an oil company, but I don’t look to him on matters outside his chosen field of economics and business.

Just because we know how it is formed now does not mean we have the technology to cultivate crude oil. Fossil fuel is a misnomer as you well know. Unless there were dinosaurs on the moon Titan. The old model of geology was that the dinosaurs died and their decomposing bodies after millions of years with the internal heat and pressure of our planet produced what we call oil. With the discovery on Titan, where the temp is a little cooler than on the Earth by about -400 degrees invalidates that model. The microbes discovered by geologists in the 70’s suggested that it was not dinosaurs, the depth of the oil reservoirs in the Earth and the discovery on Titan proved it.

Yes, it is an amazing discovery, well it was back in the 70’s. Hint, this is not new to anyone but laypeople so I seriously doubt it would ruin their week or day or month or year unless they have not kept up on the trade journals the last 30 years.

Actually I was wrong it was not Jupiter it was Saturn and the name of the moon is Titan not Triton. My mistake, doing it from memory late at night I slipped up. Thanks for catching it though. I am sure we can build a pipeline from there to here once we get the whole orbital mechanics thing and gravitation pull worked out. The point is that while the environMENTALISTs scream how we need to conserve because we are running out of fossil fuel. While at the same time they are saying that every alternative is bad for the environment. Solar power is great but it is a blight on the landscape, wind power is wonderful but it blocks my view of the land or ocean. Nuclear power is groovy but we can’t use it because we might have an accident so we can’t use it. Now that the environmentalists have knocked down all the alternatives we currently have available in varying degrees we are stuck with oil which is also filthy and we need to get rid of it.

 

It looks like the goal of environmentalists is to stop all progress of human kind not protect the environment.
