For the last 250 years we have been told that oil is a fossil fuel. In other words the source of our petroleum and hydrocarbons is explained by the “dead dinosaur hypothesis”. This is NOT the source of crude oil.
This was first put forward by a Russian scientist named Mikhail Lomonosov, who put it this way in a 1757 paper: “Rock oil (petroleum) originates as tiny bodies of animals buried in the sediments which, under the influence of increased temperature and pressure acting during an unimaginably long period of time, transforms into rock oil.”
The idea of “fossil fuel” was rejected and repudiated as early as the 1800’s by the German naturalist and geologist Alexander von Humboldt and the French chemist and thermodynamicist Louis Joseph Gay-Lussac. They proposed that oil is a primordial material erupting from great depth and is unconnected with any biological matter near the surface of the Earth.
As the development of the Sciences continued in the 19th century, the theory of fossil fuel was undermined by the work of such scientists as Marcellin Berthelot, Biasson and Sokolov and finally by Dmitri Mendeleev. For all intents and purposes they drove a stake through the heart of the fossil fuel theory. So what does happen?
The production of hydrocarbons is a continual process that takes place deep in the Earth’s crust. It is the product of continuous high-temperature, high-pressure reactions between calcium carbonate and iron oxide in the presence of water. Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) and Iron Oxide are two of the most abundant compounds making up the earth’s crust. At temperatures of 1500°C and pressures of 50,000 atmospheres, hydrocarbons are produced continuously. It seeps up through fissures in the earths crust until it is trapped in subterranean caverns. These trapped lakes of oil are what we call oil fields.
Hydrocarbons formation is actually dependant on atmospheric CO2. CO2 is absorbed by the oceans. When reacted with Calcium it can either be used by marine organisms to form shells or it can precipitate out as a fine powder. Both will find their way to the sea floor. These sediment layers will eventually form limestone. During plate tectonic motion one plate can be subducted (buried) under another. When this occurs at sea vast quantities of limestone (CaCO3) are buried deep in the Earth’s crust.
This knowledge has been around for decades. The primary drive to develop a modern petroleum science came in the 1950’s when the Soviet government was denied access to Western and Middle Eastern sources of oil. Russian and Ukrainian scientists called their work the abiotic or abiogenic theory of hydrocarbon formation. They have been extremely successful in finding oil deposits as far down in the crust as 13 km. The deepest that Westerners have drilled is 4.5km.
This article is merely to bring these facts to your attention. I recommend the links below for anyone who wishes to learn more. I will leave you with the thought that oil is the ultimate renewable energy. It is as valid as any other link in the carbon cycle of life.

Are you saying they are lying to us Chucky?
ReplyDeleteI have a good read for you.

Hello DM. Good to hear from you.
ReplyDeleteYep, they are definitely lying to us. The good news is they only did it for money and power. Nothing to worry about is there? – Just business as usual.

You are back. There is more than enough oil chuckyman always has been always will be. What the global elite cannot stand is for the world to be free of poor. That event would totally fuckup their theology. All the green bollox is a slow process to reestablish a unified global poor for them to Lord over. Energy=mobility=freedom, they don't want that.
ReplyDeleteHello there INCOMING!! It’s good to hear from you again. I see from your blog postings you have been as busy as always. I have been distracted by the usual rat race for the last month or so.
ReplyDeleteWhere do we start? The Ecological movement is very much a fifth column in our society. We are told the oil and other natural resources are running out. There are too many people or to be more precise there are too many “useless eaters”. People are now a form of pollution. Life and the consequent production of CO2 must be regulated and strictly controlled.
Consequently, I have been enjoying the public implosion of the Global Warming scam – just in time for the climate conference in Copenhagen. I also enjoyed the extra mild winter the Northern Hemisphere is experiencing – NOT. I sometimes think that the Universe has a very ironic sense of humour
To use another example, the head of the World Wildlife Federation is Prince Phillip. He is a poster boy for David Icke’s “Lizard People” if ever I saw one. The only time he gets close to wildlife is when he’s looking at it down the barrel of a shotgun. The PTB (Power’s to Be) want the herd culled. I have heard the figure of 500 million mentioned. War, Famine & Plague (not forgetting Death) are the familiar tools so listen for the sound of approaching horsemen.
It is interesting that when I chat about these and other light-hearted topics that I don’t get treated like an escapee from an insane asylum as often. The sheeple are restless and are escaping their mental paddocks. I guess we need the arrival of another al-CIA-duh wolf to corral us back in again.
I off now to bite on some soap and to spike my hair up like Einstein.
