Earth's Mantle: Untapped Oil Source?

Look man, you can't get readily burnable fuel from the mantle because there's nothing from there that you can burn on the surface.

Oil = organic material which can give off massive amounts of energy.

You are right actually..... we are supposed to cleaning up this place and using cleaner, greener materials..... Global warming is in effect and so we go out and find more oil so we can eventually burn more fuels to create more CO2.... great plan!!!

we dont want anymore oil! we want free energy.

Global warming is in effect?? Did you write that response from your e-friendly laptop in your prius this morning while listening to Gore's books on tape? Please..... global warming?? Is that the same global warming that is now causing glaciers to GROW? (global warming is now global cooling Is this the same global warming that is causing so many insane hurricanes (link missing because there are no stories about this since they aren't happening)?? The same global warming that is causing drought, severe weather and the such in places like the US (link missing because there are no stories about this since they aren't happening)?

Take the global warming BS, pack it with e-friendly packaging material and send it to someone that will buy it. We're all stocked up on BS here.

Now that is an IDEA! Free energy would be the best plan. Although we will need something that works in freezing temps with this mini-ice age that is coming.

For those still believing in GW. The same weather pattern that uses the same science that most of us feel is inaccurate is changing not because of anything man is doing but because of something we don't understand. A 10k year cycle? 100k year cycle? No idea which means, don't hide behind the same science that you criticize for being inaccurate for other topics to prove GW. It makes you look dumb.

Here, read this and take your hostility somewhere else.

oh wait... there is more:

There you go. Much sure you don't pay attention to any other facts. Just pick and choose those that come closest to proving a theory that continues to have scientists move away from. Sounds like a winning plan!!

The most comprehensive list is the one that includes all the glaciers. That is the list I have provided. Your list selects the very small number of them that happen to be growing.

iceagenow.com are the ones picking and choosing. Could it be because they have an agenda to prove an iceage?

I would be more inclined to believe a website called the "glacier monitoring service" or something along the lines of "let's keep and open mind and interpret the data" than a website called "let's find evidence of our premature belief on an iceage"

Did you even go through that spreadsheet or review the site? Not a whole lot jumping out saying "Global Warming is Melting our Glaciers"..... So where are the floods, severe storms, droughts, cats and dogs co-habitating....?? Funny you find some questions to this "sound-proof theory" to be hostile. I know.... The government has a weather machine that controls the temp of the world. Like a massive HVAC unit. When it wants to make people look dumb for believing in something like Global Warming, they turn it up. Then, they turn it back down for some laughs...

So your thought is that mankind is making the planet hotter? And to prove this, you are using data collected by scientists that believe in this theory also. Do sun-spots have anything to do with this? How about weather cycles that are beyond our abilities to caluclate or that we have knowledge of? So it is man ONLY causing this severe over heating? Just so I understand. Also, please tell us where the severe effects of this "over heating" are as I just experienced the coolest summer known to this area as have 3000 other cities....

The idea of abiotic oil or biotic oil is a moot point as far as peak oil theory. Although there is overwhelming evidence for biotic origins(by the way it isn't dinosaur remains, its primarily plankton type life) , the reality is finding it where it can be economically recovered. Since the mantle averages around 65,000 feet deep and the deepest well drilled is around 40,000 feet and there does not exist technology to drill this deep then the issue is a moot point. Secondarily, even if the abiotic origin of hydrocarbons is correct it must migrate to a drillable depth that due to low permeability would take millions of years to replenish existing reservoirs that are being depleted in 50 years. Finally, the only area that we can observe mantle material is in volcanic eruptions. I haven't noted any volcanoes spewing oil.
