Is Peak Oil A Fraud? | 27 comments (27 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

I'm trying to imagine large hydrocarbon molecules surviving center of the earth conditions with great difficulty.

Keep in mind the data points we do have of stuff flowing out of the earth's mantle. Lava..... Never seen a crude oil volcano.

pretty amusing that if everyone is looking in the wrong places in the US for the new seepage, why couldn't he find someone to drill in the right places? Wildcatters will try anything once.

He did convince a bunch of Swedes to put up cash for drilling around the lake Siljan in the eighties. The project is described in the informative and very entertaining The Golem at large - What You Should Know about Technology which I highly recomend. Good insights in the relationships between science and technology.

To make a long story short, the project might have found some oil and it might not, but anyway there was nowhere near enough for commercial exploitation when the investors patience ran out.
