Marc, I dunno if the particular theory you mention below is proven, but there is a LOT of interesting stuff about oil that people just utterly dont understand.
You have to understand "oil" is a lot like santa claus, a lot of what you hear is so ridiculous on so many levels that it is hard to know where to start addressing the ridiculousness The book you are after is called something like "the sea of oil beneath the Earth," where a serious scientist proposes the idea below. It's worth noting that the amount of KNOWN RESERVES OF OIL on the planet is actually DOUBLING, yes DOUBLING every 10 years. Currently there's about 1000 years (!) worth of oil known to be on hand. In 1990, it was 500 years, in 1980, 200 years, in 1970 only 100 years, and on on backwards. (Hence, you'll remember the insane "energy crisis" in the 60s/70s) Again, oil obeys Moore's Law -- as the technology to get oil increases, there just becomes geometrically more of it available. There is just so much oil it is not funny. And check this out! It has always been though that oil is only relatively shallow down right? (Because its from those dinosaurs right?) A few years ago someone for a laugh drilled a very, VERY deep (kms) hole (in Scandinavia or something) and found .. oil! This was stunning, bizarre. Someone else drilled another very deep hole and found .. more oil! Where there "shouldn't be" any oil. In fact, it is beginning to look like *****YOU CAN DRILL ANYWHERE ON EARTH, VERY DEEPLY, AND FIND IMMENSE AMOUNTS OF OIL******, which is a staggering, mindblowing idea. (The fact you don't hear about it on the CBS evening news makes it MORE real, not less - it goes without saying.) So even if you put aside the controversial "from microbes" idea below (which blows away the "its dinosaur fossils!" idea that our parents learned in 4th grade), these new findings just mean that once again, there is so, so much oil its not funny. We're awash in oil, there's so much oil its ridiculous. JP >"3.)Best of all -- It turns out that crude oil is actually a >renewable resource. A recent, accidental discovery has revealed that >crude oils are a natural waste product of certain types of anerobic >bactiria [.. and that the old fashioned idea of "fossils from the >dinosaur age is utterly wrong ...] > >I would be very interested in learning more about this.

Environmentalism is different however. It is not a religion that happens to be manipulated from time to time for political purpose--for the power and money it can bring to its controllers. Environmentalism is a religion which has been deliberately created, for the sole purpose of manipulating its followers." Arthur B.
