Spoke to a normie about oil, they were 100% convinced that oil is gonna run out soon, called me stupid for not buying an EV. I said if oil runs out, where are you gonna get the plastics for your EV and the electricity, which mostly comes from burning oil and plastics. 🤡🌎
Back in the old days car interiors were made out of fine polished wood and metal, only cheap budget cars used plastic interiors. Today it's all fake leather, fake wood and fake metals, which is made from low quality recycled plastics. Modern cars really sucks in quality.
Even *if* it's renewable on human timescales, which has almost no evidence either directly or indirectly, that doesn't at all mean it can keep up with current demand. If it could, then the whole planet would've drowned in oil during the *millions* of years it was supposedly being geologically created with nobody to use it.
Since that didn't happen it means that it's created so slowly that yes, it will run out.
The belief that it's an infinite free resource comes across as nothing except copium. You have absolutely no reason to actually believe that, and even if you do believe it with all your heart it changes utterly nothing.
And not like any single one of you saying this shit have even the slightest background in any relevant field to really understand the process and speak to it on a technical level.

Because we've created technology to go find deeper and deeper wells and tap them.
In the early days of oil production, wells were shallow and easily tapped. Some places the oil actually was seeping up onto the surface. All that shit is long-gone. The fact that we have to drill so deep and so heavy suggests that even if abiotic oil is real, it's clearly *not* replenishing at rates of consumption. If it wasn't replenishing that fast when there were literally only 25% as many people on the planet a hundred years ago, then it certainly isn't now that we have 4 billion pajeets and chinks burning it all for fun.
The cheapest, easiest source of oil is drilling on land. If oil were so rapidly renewable they wouldn't be faffing around with dangerous and expensive mobile offshore rigs.
The entire 'abiotic oil' shit came from one exhausted well in one place one time filling up with more oil. There's two explanations, one is that oil from an unknown deposit seeped into the void, the second is that oil magically sprouts out of the mantle infinitely.
There's **some** evidence suggesting that there's at least "an" abiotic source of petrochemicals, but from my understanding, this only is creating short-chain hydrocarbons. We don't want short-chain hydrocarbons. We want to big long stuff because that's where your fuel comes from. As far as synthesis of crude oil in the mantle is concerned, there's basically nothing except one guy in Russia 30 years ago with his theory, and a bunch of people falling for hopium/copium because they really really really really hope it's true, for reasons I don't quite understand, except I dunno, feeling guilty?
Either way, like I said, if abiotic oil were a real thing, it's not like any normal person has any capability to tap into it, so does it really matter if it is or is not? This is basically Bertrand's Teapot.
