Oil is not fossil fuel. It is generated deep under ground by either bacteria or a type of fungus. Oil fields that were considered empty in the late 70s are now at 100% capacity. The fact is that oil is renewable.

Oh ok. Then I stand corrected. How long does it take for crude to cook (under natural circumstances not labs)? and maybe some links to your sources would be appreciated. Thanks.
p.s I will try to dig up some info on sources (gonna be somewhat difficult to do because I haven't read up on this for years) but, for right now I got to get some sleep.
Crude oil is a waste excreted by bacteria living deep under ground. The environment they live in usually dictates the grade of the oil. Sometimes the environment is so poor in nutrients that the crude is more or less useless for fuel. The short answer is that there is no "cooking time" It takes roughly about 15 years for an oil field to replenish itself to full capacity. Note" if left alone for a time the oil actually gushes out of the ground naturally. A sight to see.
That’s a pretty extraordinary theory, that needs extraordinary evidence.
It’s plausible, but I’m not just taking your word for it.
There must be at least one good source for this claim?
Read last reply about sleep. Ending transmission (aka goodnight)
You never provided your sources for this 15 year replenishment period. Can you provide us with something?
