Natural Gas bubbling up everywhere?

It seems that the energy crisis may have now been averted according to this article. Apparently engineers have figured out new ways to extract natural gas, thus increasing the amount of recoverable reserves to levels never before imagined. Some time ago, I posted a link to another article saying that the earth itself is creating this natural gas along with oil, that it's not some kind-of result of dinosaurs remains. If both articles are accurate, it looks like we don't need to worry about long-term energy needs unless these environmental wackos can convince governments that climate change is real, then we're all in trouble.

Dinosaurs on Titan?

For those who think that oil came from pre-historic life, explain how there are hydrocarbons on Titan, a Saturn moon? The article doesn't really say one way or the other how they got there but it's still interesting to think that hydrocarbons may be a natural resource that can be found elsewhere in space, not just buried here underground.

Renewable oil

The other day, I posted a link to an article about the possibility that oil may not be from dinosaurs but is instead being produced by Earth all the time. Well, I found another one. Let's just say I'm starting to believe.

No "dino" in "dino-juice"?

We've all been told that oil is a "fossil fuel" and that it is being depleted. Well, I've heard rumors to the effect that some scientists aren't sure if this is true and in fact are studying to find out where oil comes from. Today, I came across this article that says the following:

Stalin’s team of scientists and engineers found that oil is not a ‘fossil fuel’ but is a natural product of planet earth – the high-temperature, high-pressure continuous reaction between calcium carbonate and iron oxide – two of the most abundant compounds making up the earth’s crust. This continuous reaction occurs at a depth of approximately 100 km at a pressure of approximately 50,000 atmospheres (5 GPa) and a temperature of approximately 1500°C, and will continue more or less until the ‘death’ of planet earth....

Apparently Stalin wanted to find a way for Russia to produce more oil and enlisted his scientists to figure out where it came from. They may have found the source and are making good use of it.

Anyway, read the article yourself. It's very interesting.
