it's not real. i have a friend who is a petroleum engineer and i grilled him about it back in the day and he explained everything to me

there is actually some abiotic oil/hydrocarbons out there, but it's a tiny tiny amount compared to the hydrocarbons created from heat + pressure of organic remains

If the Earth produces it naturally then it would be a renewable resource as opposed to a finite one. Though, practically it wouldn't change all that much.

The phytoplankton and zooplankton that turned into oil took millions of years to do so (or so goes the theory.) So yes, they are renewable, but not in any useful way to people alive now and in the foreseeable future.

just because something occurs naturally (in the way you mean) doesn't mean it's not finite. gold is finite and it's unquestionably inorganic.

Maybe I'm offbase, but I think the True Believers of abiotic oil argue that it doesn't really deplete, but that it is constantly being generated, and that anyone saying it does is a liar who wants to keep prices up (or some such shit.) Though I could be off.

Otherwise, there's no real point in arguing about where oil comes from, IMO, as it would make no practical difference to the nature of the industry.

idk what the schizo conspiracy is around this. i assume you're correct. im just being somewhat pedantic.

what's funny is that oil is created "by the earth." organic matter becoming oil is a naturally occuring process that is continually occurring. so i guess these oil conspiracy people are confident that not only does the earth produce it in some other way, but that it's replenished so rapidly it could be considered a renewable resource.

Check this shit out: "The Great Oil Conspiracy: How the U.S. Government Hid the Nazi Discovery of Abiotic Oil from the American People" - by Jerome Corsi (mega conspiracy theory guy)

https://www.abebooks.com/9781620871621/Great-Oil-Conspiracy-U.S-Government-1620871629/plp#:~:text=Quantity:%201%20available-,The%20Great%20Oil%20Conspiracy:%20How%20the%20U.S.%20Government%20Hid%20the,Corsi%2C%20Jerome%20R.&text=Seller:%20ThriftBooks%2DPhoenix%2C%20Phoenix%2C%20AZ%2C%20U.S.A.

To be fair to this guy, the Germans absolutely worked on ways to generate oil through non-traditional means in order to power their war machine. Part of why they lost the war was due to energy constraints.

lmao. it's funny how conspiracies ALWAYS incorporate ww2, nazis, and stalin in some way. IT'S ALL CONNECTED.

and yeah there's always a kernal of truth these conspiracies rely on that they expand upon in fantastic ways. and then they'll equate denial of the conspiracy with denial of that truth.

there is no reason to deny the existence of modest amounts of abiotic oil or gas, and yet at the present there is no reason to believe there is any industrially significant amount of them and there is every reason to believe that all the massive deposits of oil and gas are biogenic.

but if it does or ever did exist on earth, it doesn't appear to be the source of any of our present commercially practical sources.
