The abiotic oil theory differs from what we were taught.  I, for
one, am not qualified to say how oil is/was created.  Even if the
world's oil reserves were proven to be equal to the volume of the
Earth, we would not now be able to extract it.  In any case, the rate
of replenishment might be inadequate to serve the demand.  The world is
already awash in oil.  But that won't last according to the position
presented at the http://www.dieoff.org site.  -ross@rnn.com
