19. "Oil is a renewable resource"
Mon Nov 5, 2012, 02:20 PM
Nov 2012


What scientific journals did you read to come to that conclusion? The only people left still pushing the abiotic oil line are a few crackpot Russian scientists.

And when McCain was running for election, that was when global demand for oil was crashing in the face of the Great Recession. So, if this is the same trend you saw before, then it re-affirms my fear we're looking at another recession in the near future.
