First of all, let’s get rid of the term “fossil fuels”.
Naturally-occurring hydrocarbons are “abiotic”.
Hydrocarbon products are constantly being created deep within the earth by yet-unknown processes well below the layers that contain fossils. Keep in mind that hydrocarbons migrate upward and pass through “fossil layers” picking up remnants of “fossil” material; hence, the present-day scientists’ stupid mistaken assumption that hydrocarbons are derived from “fossils”.
Oil interests are drilling wells at 5,000 feet, 10,000 feet, and 15,000 feet and deeper, and coming up with oil deposits well below the layers and levels where “fossils” were known to exist.
As Russia gained much expertise in deep-well drilling and coming up with oil deposits far deeper than that of the level of "fossils", abiotic oil at extreme depths was actually a Russian “state secret" for a long time.
“Peak oil” and "fossil fuels” are discredited dishonest concepts that environmentalists and others are latching on to, in order to display their hatred of oil being a renewable resource as well as to push prices up.
Follow the money.
Naturally-occurring hydrocarbons have done more to advance civilization than any other influence. It is the discovery, creation and utilization of ENERGY that propels civilizations upward and onward.
We have more oil underneath our feet than the rest of the world. In fact, we became energy independent under Trump. That trend was reversed with the Biden regime.
For a good treatise on abiotic oil, please google L. Fletcher Prouty. He is a scientist who gives a good explanation of “abiotic oil”.
I believe the Russians went with the abiotic theory, and consequently became one of the largest producers of petroleum and natural gas. Beyond that, the most effective way to control supply and pricing is to sell the perception of rarity and limited supply. In the end, the most effective argument against biotic oil is life itself If hydocarbons are essential building blocks for life, then you end up with a chicken/egg dilemma.
" In fact, we became energy independent under Trump. That trend was reversed with the Biden regime."
I agree with your comment except for the above. Energy independence wasn't even being seriously addressed by that show of fracking based theater. To begin to address energy independence, federal controls on oil prices must be removed so that all the capped wells in the US, at least those with reachable levels, can resume pumping. The Caddo Reserve has been refilling for several decades, and so have other large deposits.
No US politician has ever had a positive effect on "energy independence" since the phony energy crisis declared by Nixon. It just isn't within their range of acceptable actions.
True energy independence will come when we realize that we live on a giant dynamo creating vast amounts of electricity everywhere at all times. Maxwell realized this with his quadratic equations showing the Universe creates power always and everywhere, and Tesla realized it with Wardencliffe and generating power out of the aether. While I celebrate the use of hydrocarbons for many useful products, as a power source, it is only an intermediate step towards unlimited, clean and fully individualized power for all of us. It is coming soon and will change everything in a way we can only imagine.
Wheeler is the author of a many universes theory, called the inflationary universe. It posits that the reason the maths don't let you know which sort of cat is in Schrodinger's box is because there is only one sort of cat, and two universe lines that result from the quantum event happening or not happening. Down one line or narrative thread, there is a dead cat because the quantum event happened. Down the other is a live cat because it didn't.
No, brother, it is terribly ineffective as a plot device. No one can get invested in a character's development, life, success, or death because in the multi-verse as conceived and written by the fools at Disney's Marvel studio, there's always a universe next door with a perfectly happy successful version of the same character, who didn't sacrifice his life in a meaningful way to save others but went on being a worthless white human male who cannot do anything good or right. You should watch a few videos by Critical Drinker to get a strong sense of how worthless, shiftless, and useless the multiverse is as a plot point in the hands of the inept brain dead writing staff at Marvel studio.
None of which has anything to do with John Wheeler and the inflationary universe theory. It's the mathematics, not the English language articulation of what the maths might suggest and imply, that actually matter. And Wheeler's solutions work mathematically. So if you don't like the ways in which linguists interpret his work, hey, that's cool, neither did John.
It's the same thing with David Deutsch, the Fabric of Reality book he wrote in the 1990s, and the Paths to Otherwhere fictionalisation of it that James P. Hogan contributed. Hogan, by the way, was a major proponent of the electric universe and did some of his best work popularising that set of ideas.
One of the problems you have is that quantum computers actually work, and are clearly doing things that cannot be explained with the Einsteinian model of the universe. Einstein didn't like it, but there is a probabilistic aspect to reality, which Einstein derided by claiming that God doesn't play dice. Deterministic universe theories have a lot of trouble keeping up with the evidence of probabilistic reality. Einsteinians are constantly trying to explain events with gravitational effects that are minuscule in comparison to electro-magnetic effects.
But, again, we can go on at great length without getting anywhere because it isn't mathematical to talk in linguistic generalities.
The Drinker is by far one of the best critics I've come across in the Swamp, along with Nerdrotic. I was being facetious, of course, since the M-She-U lost me ages ago.
I think Quantum computing is better described as analog, as opposed to digital. Digital offers only 2 states - 1 or 0, while analog offers a full range of states that include whole numbers between -1 and +1, and all fractions thereof.
I don't hold any track with the multiverse theory, first since there's no observational evidence of such, but also because at the moment of choice, all other possibilities cease to exist. Maths are handy for descibing certain phenomina in an obmective manner, but the modern habit of forcing the real Universe to fit speculative models is annoying. Einsteinian "physics" twisted off into a completely subjective nightmare, where every individual is his own universe, with no common or objective reality.
As for gravity, Wal Thornhill said it best: the popular visualization of gravity is a bowling ball warping a rubber sheet, but what's pulling on the bowling ball?
I've recently learned that Sinclair still operates fueling stations, particularly in Utah and the US West. I remember them quite well, since my uncle owned a Sinclair station when I was a youngun. I had Sinclair toys, like the Dino and tanker trucks. Ah, those were the days.
Yes, he was and he is worth reading about, even considering the ole and gas bidness has produced its share of characters.
People really don't know how much oil and gas there is...period. Along the US west coast, oil seeps out of the ground and gas leaks through cracks in the ground. The Plains are full of oil and the Edwards Aquifer sits on top of it. The Gulf of Mexico is a veritable ocean of oil under the seabed. The Big Secret is that the poles - focus of electro-magnetic forces - are awash in oil gas and coal. I suspect a lot of the EPA/environmental nonsense is designed to hide the fact that the Earth cranks out the stuff as a natural by-product with unlimited supply.
RFS: I agree. The Earth cranks out the hydrocarbons especially at the poles. I've read that there is a mountain of coal in Antarctica. Spitsbergen was mined for coal for a century by the Soviets/Russians. In Santa Barbara, CA , when they shut off the offshore oil rigs for maintenance etc. more oil seeps out along the beaches and makes a mess.
I know of an old (1930s) resort in south Washington state that drove pipes down into cracks in the ground and used the natural gas for lighting, cooking and heating. No drilling, just a hammer and some water pipes. Off course, the whole coast is a major fault line that would allow seepage from deep below. Same in Kansas. It's on the New Madrid fault, so oil and gas are seeping up through the cracks. West Texas is a volcanic dome, Pennsylvania has a fault line. And speaking of the Russians, most of their OnG production is in the far north, near the Arctic circle, as is Alaska and Canada. As for Antarctica, it'll be a while before we get any straight answers out of that place, but plenty of volcanoes and faults there, too.
Um, Chevron? :) Down in Texas, Sinclair long ago became Arco, which was bought out by Esso, which became Exxon, which merged with Mobil. It's like tracing royal blood lines to keep up with all this.
Knowing what I do about trademarks and brands, I doubt if the petroleum products made at that refinery need to find a gas station without a green dinosaur in front of it.
I should have written this- well done! If I could make a few points, the term “fossil fuel” is a term of propaganda, and a more correct and factual term is “natural fuels”. Also, while I agree that Einstein and co led us down a bad path, is there a good write up on the phenomena of nuclear energy within the electric universe canon?
Excellent points and very good question. Off the top of my head, I can't think of a monograph that explores fission/fusion in the EU. However, I highly recommend Pierre-Marie Robitaille's series on Electric Stars on his Sky Scholar channel, Stephen Cruthers' excellent debunkings of General Relativity, and the See The Pattern channel, which offers several videos concerning fission/fusion in the EU. Keep in mind that the EU has alternative views on the nature and stucture of atoms, as well. Thanks for stopping by and commenting! I hope this helps.
It is notable that all our technology at present is based on Maxwell and Tesla. Relativity and quantum theory have given us nothing that can be engineered. So-called "quantum computing" is a joke and analog computing will run circles around it. Thomas Gold, who espoused the "steady-state" universe (k=0) and abiotic oil, may yet be proven right on both counts. There is so much we think we know that needs to be trashed, and that is the biggest mountain to climb ahead of us.
Great article! Yes, return to Maxwell, Faraday, and Tesla. They were the giants of practical science. Will the government ever release the lab notes they stole from Tesla's laboratory?
Tesla would have designed an EV that charges off a wireless system, or just by moving through magnetic fields while driving. And he would laugh, then get righteous and lambast the current status quo thinking on electricity.
I suspect his notes will eventually leak out, as will those who also discovered similar phenomena. The real issue, though, is the way mathemagic has replaced cold observation and experimentation. Science has been completely perverted and ruined in the past century.
RFS: I'm currently reading "Thunderstruck" by Erik Larson. He writes about Marconi and the wireless. Marconi used trial and error, not mathematics to discover and refine his wireless communications. It's a very interesting story. Marconi did have help from Fleming who was perhaps more of a math guy. And of course, money, investors, governments, and competitors were involved.
Haven't read that one, but the whole Tesla/Marconi wireless rivalry is an interesting story. Marconi wasn't threatening the Big Oil and Big Electric boys in the US, so he got a little more leg room in that regard. I've read speculation that Tesla's demonstration of his "death ray" is what caused the explosion in Tunguska, Siberia, in 1908. Interesting though, given that Tesla said that kind of thing was possible. I happen to think that the HAARP array and similar installations are based on Tesla's work, as well.
RFS: The book has only mentioned Tesla in passing so far. Marconi's competition comes mostly from a magician and a jealous scientist in England.
I don't think Tesla caused the Siberian explosion. It was probably an asteroid.
HAARP is based upon Tesla's work IMO and is used for geo-engineering and all kinds of mischief. I think it's been closed down for newer technology but of course, it's all Top Secret.
If I remember correctly, HAARP was turned over to a university, which won't saying anything either.
The Tunguska event is curious. There are no physical remains of a meteor, and the explosion left no crater at all. It was an impulse wave. No witnesses saw anything steaking inbound, just an intense light and shock wave. This sounds a lot like a capacitor on a very large scale, which would fit with what is known about Tesla's death ray. It's an interesting solution to an otherwise vexxing problem.
Marconi was a lot like Edison, in that he took ideas from other folks and bumbled around with them until he found something interesting. Edison, too, was a workaholic and not much of a mathematician. That doesn't degrade his inventions, but rather speaks to the ethic of never giving up.
I have been suspicious of the existence of "fossil fuels" since learning about the Stanley Miller experiment in the late 1950s and simultaneously taking organic chemistry courses in the early 1990s. If organic matter could be produced by physical forces acting on inorganic substances, why do the hydrocarbon structures have to pass through a life and decompose cycle first ? What would William of Ockham say?
Exactly so. The official narradigm doesn't hold up to even a cursory scratch 'n' sniff, especaiily when you add in the copious data from around the Solar System. I will have to read up on Stanley Miller; thanks for the tip. Keep questioning everything - though I do note that the Earth is round. I think we can put that one to bed.
Thank you Bernard for this explanation about Abiotics, especially the Link to the science and math. My husband is looking forward to reading it. I kept telling him there is no shortage of oil etc. and that it's not a 'fossil" at all,......but He's been skeptical. He always says people say things but they don't back them up with the Data. He's been an IT Professional for 40 years,....now retired. So he needs the "numbers". Thanks again.
Thank you most kindly, not just for your note of appreciation, but for your efforts on TwiX that have driven quite a few new subs. Your favor means a lot to me.
Your husband in wise to be skeptical of any narradigm. I was targeting those folks who haven't heard of abiotic oil, or think it's some pie-in-the-sky pseudoscience. I hope I put links of sufficient quality and density to encourage folks to see a whole new way of thinking in terms of oil, gas and coal. To my mind, using this resource is life-affirming, which is precisely why the Death Cult wants to shut it down.
I love it when I read 2 identical paragraphs in an article. And it surprises me how often this happens. I start to think, did the author even reread what he wrote? Did he just bunch together paragraphs from previous writings? Maybe the site that picked up the article messed up somehow? Did AI put together this piece? I'm sure there are other possibilities. Maybe just a bad day on someone's part. So, I came here to the comments after the experience, will I go back to reading? I think I will in this case but I often don't when I come across this. Maybe I'm just a little off today.
My apologies to the author. It must have been the site that picked up the piece from this site (Lew Rockwell). Of course, AFTER writing my first comment, it dawns on me that I'm on the "original article." I checked it and there's NO repeat of the paragraph.
At this point, I'm in the 'making a fool of myself' zone. Just wanted to say that I've been a fan of Suspicious0bservers(dot)org for 7-8 years. Short daily news on YT covering sun-earth interactions, many recent scientific papers, the electric/magnetic universe, our diminishing (and rapidly moving) magnetic field and so much more. Much info on available playlists.
No worries! I looked through the Rockwell post and thought, "Did I do that?" I had to double check. Thankfully it was an error on LR's site, and not mine. I too am a fan of Suspicious0berservers, and I have an interview with Ben Davidson up on the Rumble/YT channels. Fascinating work and deserving of a deep dive by anyone interested in a far more sensical Universe. Cheers!
Finished reading the article. Very good. I don't have the background to critique any specifics, but nor did I come across anything that felt 'off.' It blended well to other things I've read in this regard. I've long followed the (man-made) climate change issue since '75. It's been a thorn in my backside for quite some time. OK, I'm done talking to myself. :)
I very much appreciate you reading through and offering your thoughts. The subject is rather complex, especially in light of deliberate obfuscation on the parts of vested interests, whose grants and profits are derived from a particular narradigm. I couldn't hope to cover the topic in any depth, in part because I am no means an expert, but also because I could fill a book with all the data and theories available. Rather, I hope I presented a compelling argument that encourages folks to do more study on their own. It really is fascinating and sparks the imagination, which is always a good thing.

You might like John Wheeler and Richard Feynman's work on this topic.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheeler%E2%80%93Feynman_absorber_theory
Feynman is very interesting, though I'm not as familiar with Wheeler. Good call.
Feynman's hobby while in the Manhattan Project was opening government safes.
He was really good at it, too!
Much to the aggravation of those trying to keep secrets locked up.
Funny thing about human nature - once you declare something off limits, you challenge others to prove you wrong.
Do it with more than a couple of teenagers present and you'll start a new fad.

Ah yes, the multiverse. A particularly good example of mathemagic at work, and an effective plot device in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The total field is then the observed pure retarded field.[6]: 173 What has Congress got to do with this?😁
Some of the effete political class are cretins. Possibly all, but I have not had the stomach to examine each one very closely.
Sinclair still uses the dinosaur as its mascot, having large statues of the green "Dino" in company parking lots.
I've recently learned that Sinclair still operates fueling stations, particularly in Utah and the US West. I remember them quite well, since my uncle owned a Sinclair station when I was a youngun. I had Sinclair toys, like the Dino and tanker trucks. Ah, those were the days.
RFS: Harry Ford Sinclair https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Ford_Sinclair
was an interesting guy. LOL.
People don't realize how much oil is in Kansas. I know people who got rich off of the oil.
Yes, he was and he is worth reading about, even considering the ole and gas bidness has produced its share of characters.
People really don't know how much oil and gas there is...period. Along the US west coast, oil seeps out of the ground and gas leaks through cracks in the ground. The Plains are full of oil and the Edwards Aquifer sits on top of it. The Gulf of Mexico is a veritable ocean of oil under the seabed. The Big Secret is that the poles - focus of electro-magnetic forces - are awash in oil gas and coal.

One of the four operating refineries in Wyoming is owned by Sinclair, and it is located in a town named Sinclair. I'll let you guess who operates it.
Um, Chevron? :) Down in Texas, Sinclair long ago became Arco, which was bought out by Esso, which became Exxon, which merged with Mobil. It's like tracing royal blood lines to keep up with all this.
Petroleum products are more fungible than royal blood.
Knowing what I do about trademarks and brands, I doubt if the petroleum products made at that refinery need to find a gas station without a green dinosaur in front of it.

As a guy I follow coined it, The Cult of Quantum, has been a disaster that led to a wasted century.
Another case of the "experts" causing disaster.
We have to get back to Maxwell. Besides Kudryanvtsev, wasn't a fellow named Gold advocating abiotic oil?
It is notable that all our technology at present is based on Maxwell and Tesla. Relativity and quantum theory have given us nothing that can be engineered.

Maybe just a bad day on someone's part. So, I came here to the comments after the experience, will I go back to reading? I think I will in this case but I often don't when I come across this. Maybe I'm just a little off today.
My apologies to the author. It must have been the site that picked up the piece from this site (Lew Rockwell). Of course, AFTER writing my first comment, it dawns on me that I'm on the "original article." I checked it and there's NO repeat of the paragraph.
At this point, I'm in the 'making a fool of myself' zone. Just wanted to say that I've been a fan of Suspicious0bservers(dot)org for 7-8 years. Short daily news on YT covering sun-earth interactions, many recent scientific papers, the electric/magnetic universe, our diminishing (and rapidly moving) magnetic field and so much more. Much info on available playlists.
No worries! I looked through the Rockwell post and thought, "Did I do that?" I had to double check. Thankfully it was an error on LR's site, and not mine. I too am a fan of Suspicious0berservers, and I have an interview with Ben Davidson up on the Rumble/YT channels. Fascinating work and deserving of a deep dive by anyone interested in a far more sensical Universe. Cheers!
Finished reading the article. Very good. I don't have the background to critique any specifics, but nor did I come across anything that felt 'off.' It blended well to other things I've read in this regard. I've long followed the (man-made) climate change issue since '75. It's been a thorn in my backside for quite some time. OK, I'm done talking to myself. :)
I very much appreciate you reading through and offering your thoughts. The subject is rather complex, especially in light of deliberate obfuscation on the parts of vested interests, whose grants and profits are derived from a particular narradigm. I couldn't hope to cover the topic in any depth, in part because I am no means an expert, but also because I could fill a book with all the data and theories available. Rather, I hope I presented a compelling argument that encourages folks to do more study on their own. It really is fascinating and sparks the imagination, which is always a good thing.
