In 1970, the Russians started drilling Kola SG-3, an exploration well which finally reached a staggering world record depth of 40,230 feet. Since then, Russian oil majors including Yukos have quietly drilled more than 310 successful super-deep oil wells, and put them into production. .
1- they already have a good platform to make money with it.
2- they already know its there for ever
3- since they got monopole they can play with the prices when they want
4- using oil will limit human technology advance.(no new energy no new ways of using it)
5- no deep space exploration for a long long time to come with out new energy source.

This is not necessarliy new news. I like to read over on bobistheoilguy.com, oil engineers forum, but open to the public as well. About 2 years ago, thier was a thread, about a new theory, that oils was Abiotic...meaning its kinda like, earth blood, rather than made of the land before time. So, when humans extract oil form a well, thiers a good chance the oil will replace itself in that well, over millions of years.

I'm willing to bet the process is very costly and requires a lot of energy to produce. It's like the Segway guy who invented a machine which can separate and clean water from any liquid. It works great, but the machine costs $200000 to make.
Yeah, I remember that lol and like I said before I hope they refine the process to a point that it can be an every day thing can you imagine a fuel pump that makes the fuel. While you pump that would be wicked awesome.

We don't need it anymore.
There are too many cleaner sources of energy.

Yes, on paper, but not deployed. It would be very disappointing to order those solar panels only to find out that UPS trucks can't deliver it to your home because... oops, ups doesn't yet have electric trucks.

This is obviously something that can't and won't happen over night...
