Kind of disappointed with post #190. An ill-constructed question followed by a facile and pedestrian answer to a self-serving setup question, all in the same post no less. Something dumb from someone I expected better of. In a word, sophomoric.
What prompts my post is I remember reading about a Swedish or Norwegian theorist who suggested oil is not a fossil fuel at all but instead is being continually synthesized from primordial carbon and water deep within the earth's mantle. It then oozes upwards into the crust to form oil fields. Evidently the theory was good enough to have some very deep wells drilled in an attempt to test idea. Does anyone know what eventually came of it?
