There are two current foundational beliefs as to the nature of oil.

1. It is a finite fossil fuel that is running out.
2. It is a renewable resource produced deep within the planet.

Listen to a debate concerning oil.

Thursday, January 12
Jerome Corsi and Michael Ruppert will debate whether oil is a renewable source produced deep inside the Earth, or a finite resource which will become more scarce within our lifetime.

Check website for stations in your area, listen on website or XM 165 12:00am central.

yes it is a renewable source but at the current rate we are using up oil it will become redudant. any process of reforming oil can only occur in certain circumstance... shallow seas, compressed over many years (millions of years.)
so was the radio show any good?

Excellent! If you missed it you can download it from https://www.coasttocoastam.com. (for a small cost, I believe)
At the end they had an unscientific poll showing Jerome R. Corsi the winner. (He wrote the book Black Gold StrangleHold: The Myth of Scarcity and the Politics of Oil. (www.wndbooks.com)
Both sides brought up good points, but Corsi brought better reasoning and scientific data while Ruppert, although having data was more emotional and lacked the logical reasoning.
It was very involved, but the bottom line was that although you may not believe all the statistics that are thrown out by oil companies and countries the science is there to believe that oil is continually produced naturally and not by fossils or dead dinosaurs (Ruppert eventually admitted to the dinosaur part--said nobody ever claimed oil came from dead dinosaurs (could've fooled me}
Again---you have got to listen to it and/or get the book.

I thought I had heard everything. Oil a renewable. If people begin to believe that trash there is no hope.

The conclusion was that Jerome R Corsi (Oil is abiotic and renewable) won the debate.
In a summary he put forth that it has been a myth that we are running out of oil. There is no scientific basis for that "religious" belief. Reserves are at an all time high, the "peak" oil theory is arbitrary and that predictions that we are running out of all have been around as long as the early 1900's. Everytime more oil is discovered the "peak" oil theorists keep on moving the date forward. ( I personally remember Jimmy Carter telling us we would run out of oil in the 70's)
It was brought up about the bet between Julian Simon and Paul Ehrlich. https://www.answers.com/topic/wager-between-julian-simon-and-paul-ehrlich
Paul Ehrlich said the price of certain resources would skyrocket and there would be mass starvation by 1975. He lost the bet.

"Yet, it is significant that "All of the former's [Ehrlich's] grim predictions had been decisively overturned by events. Ehrlich was wrong about higher natural resource prices, about "famines of unbelievable proportions" occurring by 1975, about "hundreds of millions of people starving to death" in the 1970s and '80s, about the world "entering a genuine age of scarcity."

I don't know about it being renewable but as for running out of it anytime soon I doubt it.

I still think we should start making a serious effort to switch to a hydrogen economy over the next few decades and to hell with oil and the middle east.

It is very hard to take this seriously.

In a way, oil IS a renewable resource.. it's called a conditionally renewable resource.. as is wood and animals.. but, in the case of oil, you need to take a good long and hard look at the actual conditions involved.. it takes quite a lot of time to actually convert dead matter to oil, as the earth does it, and currently there is no question at all that we are indeed taking it out much much quicker than the earth is making it.
As for the reserves being at an all time high? If you are talking about what is still buried, that simply has no support in any research I have ever encountered anywhere. Granted, I do not know all the research in the world, but I DO know that very serious and very exact sources say quite the opposite(try WHO and the trade organisation for instance).
