  • Oil’s Well That Ends Well

    Firstly a link to instant oil spill – see anything familiar?

    Oi Oi Oil

    Oil is not a fossil fuel. It is abiotic, but found using fossils that developed later. Although virtually unlimited, deep wells are very expensive. BP and other oil companies don’t want you to know this, and the scientific community is dominated by paleontologists who use fossils to FIND more oil. Conservation and alternative fuels are costly but viable options in the long run. Natural gas, if removed safely, can be burned with CO2 returned to the Earth, and will remove this green house gas from the atmosphere. This will help cool the planet helpt the plants and flowers, but not stop human development.

    However much crude oil remains there’s no need to make everything in the world out of it or power everything with it.

    This economy has become largely a vehicle for as many petroleum uses as possible.

    Our cups, clothing, medicine, and food now routinely contain petroleum.

    It’s put into everything possible whether necessary or not, in order to sell more of it.

    Glass, cotton, ceramics, the list goes on and on of industries marginalized by this monopoly.

    The result is our eggs are now more or less in one basket.

    Its name is crude, so I guess there’s no wonder.

    Fitting that it comes from dinasours.
