Everything in our daily lives is made from plastic, or petrochemicals to be exact, and once the we are unable to manufacture these products, society will be in a bind.

Keep in mind the amount of plastic products that are used in hospitals. Anything from needles, saline bags, etc. Now imagine if these products had to be made from glass.

Uh huh.

So is Gamma Radiation. All natural from sweet, sweet Uranium.

But that doesn’t make fallout from a nuclear blast to be naturally harmless.

Abiotic oil is not a theory, it is a hypothesis, and that means it is not even in the realm of theory let alone even considered remotely possible. In other words, abiotic oil is a pipe-dream.

It simply means there is no free lunch. Here, check it out to learn everything you need to know about the abiotic oil hypothesis.

Well take a good look around, does it look like that economic model is based on reality? Exponential growth does not, and cannot exist in a closed loop system of finite resources. Exponential growth is about as fake as the abiotic oil theory.

It’s a renewable resource!!!

Anyone who thinks oil is a fossil fuel, kill something, throw it in your back yard and let me know if it turns into oil. Decaying dinosaurs, vegetation etc. how laughably ridiculous!

Oil is to the earth as blood is to living beings. You don’t have a set amount of blood just as the earth doesn’t have a set amount of oil. Just use some common sense and think critically.”

Of course the same forces that created oil in the first place must still be in effect, but at what rate? Yes, our bodies manufacture blood constantly but I wouldn’t want to maintain an open vein and draw off ever increasing amounts of my blood. You can’t only look at supply when demand is increasing exponentially.

Did I think critically enough?

Thanks for sharing your name; I wanted to address you directly and with respect.

(There are actually two Jerry’s that commented here and I’m the first, not the one you replied to.)

Thanks again for great commentary!

How can 10’s of millions of years be a testable model when you have no fixed reference point? Oldest known terrestrial lunar samples? Who says? Is somebody still around from that supposed time period that knows it is the oldest, or how old it actually is? Unsubstantiated theories, on top of unsubstantiated theories…some people will believe anything. Yes, that was definitely a dead herd of dinosaurs miles underneath the surface of the Gulf of Mexico. They were actually amphibious mud eaters that overate their way to their gruesome fate under the sea bed.
