I suspect we need Holmes for this one...as controversy, claim, counter claim, denial, refutation and insults over expertise continue to be hurled. What remains amusing pro or con is that it is a theory with a high degree of probable veracity. Is big oil-business and banking tied to fossil fuel the driving factor? Or is it merely ego driven staunch adherence to only one mainstream theorem in academia the problem.
 
 
 
Possibly tis the politics of the eco-fanatic liberal and socialist; fed on a diet since gen 3x of: oil is bad, peace good, profit is bad....redistribution of wealth to equalize the positon of  the lazy and socialist welfare dependents of big government, harmony and dope is good.Wink Yup the ones that fabricated bad science to justify the theorems of global warning...etc. You know them.
 
 
 
All of the above? 
 
 
Well perhaps we need Watson as well. The following links give out the basics and the controversies. Feel free to wade in here. I'm not looking at it from a chemical or physical sciences analysis aspect theorem vs. theorem. As much as I am trying to determine the root cause among the contenders and their unwillingness to advance beyond the 'grant syndrome effect' in their selective defenses. Predominately because locally it has become a rage in New Mexico and my beloved North and West Texas again. Whether it's a university funded or major oil corporation.
 
 
It's immaterial...and in the end does it make a hoot anyway considering we remained tied to fossils for the next 100 years.Wink

I remember this being debated elsewhere, and the end result was that oil does not replenish itself within a time scale of any use to humans.

That was there and thenWink...this is here and now. Presuming the latter part of your opination to be correct......then why the ongoing hub bub? As I don't believe in the other arguement 'peak oil' much.. as to my mind no one has adequately estimated oil reserves in varying types to include synthetics with any acceptable veracity.......hence....got to be a reason this stuff still floats.
 
Or is this just baiting......LOLLOLLOL

If you recall, CV, it wasn't "my opinion", but the learned verdict of one particular senior petroleum geologist employed by Exxon-Mobil. Smile

However, if you believe that oil, which takes hundreds of millions of years to form under enormous heat and pressure, replenishes itself and therefore will never run out, I will bow to your superior expertise, but I do wonder why any new oil wells are necessary since production should continue unabated forever out of all of the old ones. 

How did Dubai run out of oil, anyway?    Tongue
