LOL and in the mean time, the Piceance Basin in Colorado/Utah supposedly has more oil than all of Saudi Arabia - but they need to figure out a way to heat the rock (to about 700º F) to get the stuff to flow out of the rocks.

So, one place is too hot, the other too cold. But the oil is there.

“Born & Raised” in the heart of the Permian, this is an exciting discovery. Let’s see what they do with it.

My favorite uncle was General Manager of The Alaska Pipeline Company. I worked for him in 1969. He knew ( and so I Knew) that deep hydrocarbon deposits Are Not “fossil fuels.” They are remnants of the formation of the solar system.

It is now confirmed that there are planetary bodies with methane oceans and ice caps ( ex the moons of Jupiter, Saturn etc).

The limitation of “fossil fuels” such as gas and oil is a Myth!

The Earth has plenty. It’s just a matter of How we want to use it!
