Quote from: Brent on Today at 12:01:17 PMDid he? I thought he was referring to accessing new reserves.

I think you are confusing who posted what.

I checked. I quoted the correct member.

I got a buddy that runs his diesel vehicles off french fry oil. He can only use french fry oil thats millions of years old tho!     

Sorry, couldnt resist!

Quote from: wizer on Today at 07:53:09 AMIt's odd that you confuse the terms "increased global supply of hydrocarbons" with "increased atmospheric levels of hydrocarbons".

Quote from: DKG on Today at 07:50:57 AMIt is odd that people are not excited that the global supply of hydrocarbons is increasing. But, they have an agenda and apparently it does not include a stable cheap supply of energy.

Quote from: wizer on Today at 07:47:14 AMWhat an odd statement.

Quote from: DKG on Today at 07:43:53 AMSome people are angry that we will never exhaust hydrocarbon supplies.

What an odd statement.

Quote from: Lokmar on Today at 02:14:17 AMYep. Its not much more complicated than pressing out olive oil. Some people are hyper invested loons tho.

Some people are angry that we will never exhaust hydrocarbon supplies. It is responsible for our modern advanced way of life more than all other natural resources combined. It makes no sense unless you have an agenda.

Quote from: Shen Li on November 06, 2025, 11:12:37 PMLok we have the technology right now to produce crude oil from algae in about an hour.

The entire process is surprisingly straightforward. A mixture of wet algae, water, and other materials is subjected to a temperature of 350°C and a pressure of 20 MPa for nearly 60 minutes, resulting in the production of combustible hydrocarbons.

This process mimics some of the conditions that originally transformed prehistoric plant material into fossil fuels deep underground – high pressure and temperatures.

But, with the world awash in hydrocarbons it will not happen on any industrial scale.

Yep. Its not much more complicated than pressing out olive oil. Some people are hyper invested loons tho.

Safe travels.

Not analogous. We don't already have Mars here on earth.

This is a meme that apparently circulated on FB. The term fossil fuels was created not because hydrocarbons come from dinosaurs but to create the illusion of scarcity. 

Sinclair Oil helped popularize the term.

Quote from: Lokmar on November 06, 2025, 01:12:43 PMAll YOU need worry about is it doesnt take millions of years for oil to form.

If you're still tore up about it, rent a diving bell and release some colored veggie oil at the bottom of the Gulf, then time its ascent.

He don't seem like a fella interested in facts. He decides something despite science and works backwards.

And then there are the obvious contradictions. Even if he actually believes we will exhaust all oil and gas reserves both proven and as yet unexploited at current rates of production and consumption why would he want to transition to energy sources that are a lot more finite.

I aint picking on him because that is the NDP and Liberal parties of Canada. Oil and natural gas are running out so we should transition to wind solar and batteries that come from real finite resources. It makes no sense. But, that is North America's prog parties for ya.
