What a dipshit! He thinks oil is the ultimate alternative energy.

Nancy will make mincemeat out of him. This is her biggest area of expertise.

3. It's possible...
... that human beings will become extinct before the oil runs out, such as because of a very big war very soon.

6. The guy should understand how fossil fuels originated.
Edited on Thu Feb-19-09 06:07 PM by 4lbs
Also, how long it takes for dead creatures to become fossil fuel: millions of years.

7. Some young earth creationists believe - when they think of it -
Edited on Thu Feb-19-09 06:22 PM by baldguy
that oil is not a "fossil" fuel. It's a product of purely geological processes, and if we'd just drill deep enough we'd have as much as we could use.

8. Yep --but not only creationists, sometimes respected scientists: The Deep Hot Biosphere
Edited on Thu Feb-19-09 06:39 PM by librechik
--it's our only hope.

Let's Hope Professor Gold (and a large number of Russian geologists) are right.

9. there is a competing theory that says old fossils are just mixed in with new oil.
It explains why dry wells fill up again. You never know. It could be right.

13. Yeah. Or it could have already been there nearby and some sort of vacuum effect caused it to be
"sucked into" the empty well after the first batch of oil was depleted.

10. on sucking all the oil out of the Earth
what if oil acts like a cushioning on the tectonic plates?

Just wondering if God put it under the earth for some other reason.

12. Randi Rhodes would have eaten him for lunch
and spit him out in 3 seconds.


I've tried the Nancy Skinner show for the last week
but she is living in 'her' past. I'm glad she's on the air somewhere
but I want Randi back. Yes, Randi gets on my nerve sometimes
but she is fearless.

I don't like the Air America show with ?Ron Cuvee? either at that time

I want Randi back on the air somewhere.
