Oh for crying out loud, what else would you have us do? Ignore the resources available there? You realize the plastic making up the computer you are typing on COMES FROM OIL, right?
Does that make it right? Umm.... no it doesn't.
Dependency on oil is definitely something we are accustomed to as well as a great money maker for the elite. Wars are fought over such and no... it's not right.
It's not right we have tons and tons of plastic in our waters... islands of them.
If you are not Recycling and believe in these resources long term... then you are a part of the problem imo.

Last week new NASA photographs proved methane lakes exist on Saturn's moon, Titan, showing that such hydrocarbons (or so-called 'fossil fuels') are seemingly plentiful in our solar system. Cassini passes Saturn This startling discovery turns on its head the long-held western belief that petroleum is a limited resource, because it is primarily derived (we had been told) from the fossilized remains of dead dinosaurs and rotted carbon-based vegetation.

This is from a team of Swedish scientists that did not have to leave the planet to find out that we have been lied to all the time in order to keep prices high

The Russians for decades reinvested all there Oil profits in working out how to drill deeper as they always knew this and eventually worked out how to drill down to 40 thousand feet where the mineral is naturally produced this is why they have become the No 1 oil supplier in the world.
This could be the reason why Oil prices are falling, yet no announcements on the Main Stream News although that's not surprise seeing Murdoch Is a partner with one of the Rothschilds in a massive gas field in Syria and I'm pretty sure the Rockerfellers work for/with the Rothschilds in controlling most of the Oil industry
Makes you wonder why they are doing all the Fracking if Oil is a replenishable resource especially due to all the Methane and destabilising the Earths crust that fracking causes.
I am surprised no-one else has put this news on here as it does not come up on the search feature and anyway why hasn't it been made a sticky so everyone who comes onto this forum knows that the forum title is incorrect. as well as its now a proven fact that peak oil is just a con

The low price per barrel hasn't translated to the pump, the price of a gallon of gas is still so high that people are driving less than they used to, creating an apparent surplus, driving down the price of crude.
Oil mega giants keep exploring and drilling to have surplus in case something goes wrong with the big puddle in the Middle East. Like sinking a tanker in the straits or nuking the Crown Jewels, for instance.
Im sure I'm wrong there, somebody explain it…

The thing I have always wondered about oil, is what happens to the parts of the earth it's extracted from? Are there massive empty cavities in the earth? If so how do they not collapse?
Methane-derived hydrocarbons produced under upper-mantle conditions
Anton Kolesnikov1,2, Vladimir G. Kutcherov2,3 & Alexander F. Goncharov1
Abstract
There is widespread evidence that petroleum originates from biological processes1, 2, 3. Whether hydrocarbons can also be produced from abiogenic precursor molecules under the high-pressure, high-temperature conditions characteristic of the upper mantle remains an open question. It has been proposed that hydrocarbons generated in the upper mantle could be transported through deep faults to shallower regions in the Earth’s crust, and contribute to petroleum reserves4, 5. Here we use in situ Raman spectroscopy in laser-heated diamond anvil cells to monitor the chemical reactivity of methane and ethane under upper-mantle conditions. We show that when methane is exposed to pressures higher than 2 GPa, and to temperatures in the range of 1,000–1,500 K, it partially reacts to form saturated hydrocarbons containing 2–4 carbons (ethane, propane and butane) and molecular hydrogen and graphite. Conversely, exposure of ethane to similar conditions results in the production of methane, suggesting that the synthesis of saturated hydrocarbons is reversible. Our results support the suggestion that hydrocarbons heavier than methane can be produced by abiogenic processes in

They do. And fracking causes earthquakes.
No they do not. The connection between fracking and earthquakes is anecdotal but convincing. They may be caused if the rock it too porous, becoming brittle as the oil is extracted.
