Any question I would have would depend on the type of scientist available. No point in asking a geologist about market pressures, is there?

And just to answer a question of mine, is this a scientific forum or a political assemblage?

First of all, I've heard the show a few times, neat stuff, I'm suprised you'd stoop to the internet forums for questions but greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

As for the question, most of them that I've had have been asked, I just wanted to put out a thanks!

Ok. Try infinity squared. Oil is renewable.

"Hydrocarbons can be re-defined as a 'renewable resource, rather than a finite one' (Gurney 1997)" -- Peter R. Odell, economist/geologist, 2004

"Enormous implications follow from oil and gas being renewable resources." -- Peter R. Odell, economist/geologist, 2004

"It is obvious that the total amount of petroleum in the rocks underlying the surface ... is large beyond computation." -- Edward Orton, geologist, 1888
