Yes Gold was prophetic about this. I was surprised about the work in Russia. I only knew what Gold said at the time. He found oil but there was no monetary reason not to continue what we had at the time. There is a tremendous investment in the infrastructure for the fossil fuel machine.
It's happened before. Dupont got all hemp banned as Marijuana when they were bringing out their oil based cloth. The hemp based cloth being developed at the time was competitive with Rayon but government stopped it by equating all hemp with pot. Today, in the white world there is a small hemp industry that is allowed but if an Indian grows non-marijuana hemp on a reservation the FBI will still burn the fields. This material from the old Soviet Union is new to me. I had heard from soldiers in Vietnam about the field at Haiphong and they claimed that was the real reason for the war at all. I was not aware that the field was abiotic. That was totally new to me. But I'm not surprised. I always thought that Gold was probably right. It just made sense considering the problems of burying all of that plant and animal matter given the amount of time.
