By Greg Lewis- Guest writerPresident Barack Obama and his green energy confederates are determined to push several ideas about the supply of oil on the planet that bolster their attempts to destroy energy production that relies on so-called “fossil fuels.” If we accept the idea that oil is produced by the conversion of organic matter — from plants to dinosaurs — under extreme pressure, we must also accept the idea that there is a limited supply of oil and that we’ve got to do everything we can to find a replacement for fossil fuels before we run out.
The evidence is mounting that, not only do we have more than a century’s worth of recoverable oil in the United States alone (even if there is a limit to the earth’s oil supply), we actually have a limitless supply of “Texas tea” because oil is in fact a renewable resource that is being constantly created deep under the earth’s surface and which rises upward where microscopic organisms that thrive in the intense pressure and heat miles below us interact with and alter it.
In other words, we have an unending supply of oil, some of which is constantly migrating upward from the depths at which it is created to refill existing oil deposits, and much more of which remains far below the surface. This oil can be recovered using existing technology.
The scientist Thomas Gold presents a theory of “abiotic” oil creation that supports these facts in his book, The Deep Hot Biosphere. In it he explains that the idea of the “biotic” creation of “fossil fuels” — that decaying organic matter is compressed into oil — is incorrect. In fact, the earth is constantly producing new oil very deep below its surface, and in some cases the oil flows up to replenish existing oil fields thought to be exhausted. In simple terms, the microscopic organisms mentioned above interact with the hydrocarbons, altering them and leaving their footprint, thus disproving the notion that oil is a “fossil fuel.”
Here’s an example of how the process plays out:
Eugene Island is an underwater mountain located about 80 miles off the coast of Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico. In 1973 oil was struck and off-shore platform Eugene 330 erected. The field began production at 15,000 barrels a day, then gradually fell off, as is normal, to 4,000 barrels a day in 1989. Then came the surprise; it reversed itself and increased production to 13,000 barrels a day. Probable reserves have been increased to 400 million barrels from 60 million. The field appears to be filling from below and the crude coming up today is from a geological age different from the original crude, which leads to the speculation that the world has limitless supplies of petroleum.
The theory of what Gold calls the deep hot biosphere was explored more fully in Stalinist Russia in the 1940s when the Russian dictator demanded that his scientists find a way to increase Soviet oil production. As they explored the idea that oil and other hydrocarbons are constantly being generated deep beneath the earth’s surface, Russian technology was developed in the 1970s to test it by drilling as deep as 40,000 feet into the earth. As a result, Russia was the first nation to begin to understand and exploit these renewable oil reserves, and today their oil industry is thriving.
The political implications for Barack Obama and the radical environmentalist base he panders to with his corrupt “renewable” energy policy are profound. First, as we’ve seen, the president continually misrepresents the amount of recoverable oil available to us. His assertion that we have “only two percent of the world’s oil reserves” available to us is simply a lie, as Susan Duclos documents in this piece. We’re awash in oil reserves, and it’s up to our political candidates to expose Obama’s baseless fabrications about our energy reserves.
Beyond that, most Americans have digested the fact that the entire environmentalist rationale for pursuing “green energy” technology is built on fabricated global warming — recently renamed “climate change” — science. To continue to pursue a path based on such deceit — that the earth is warming and we must convert to “renewable” energy sources ASAP — is to invite enslavement to an economy dominated by energy produced by Obama’s political cronies and controlled, ultimately, by a central government. It’s also to ignore the fact that the earth itself is a producer of virtually limitless supplies of the very renewable energy on which the infrastructure of modern civilization is built.
The public — likely Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney notwithstanding — is ready for a message that defends oil as the fuel of the future and is buttressed by growing scientific evidence. This means that there’s no need for us to look beyond our shores — our “offshores” to be precise — to discover where our oil is coming from. It’s bubbling up constantly from miles below the surface of the earth, and it’s not about to run out.Greg Lewis Ph.D. is the author of The Politics of Anger, which systematically lays out the communist/socialist foundations of the liberal political agenda by examining the important writings of leftist thinkers of the past 75 years.
