(It is generally accepted ), kakva lakonska rečenica, u vrijeme kada šaljemo robotske sonde na Pluton, Cassini godinama istražuje Saturn i okoliš, ili istražujemo planete u susjedstvu bližih zvijezda. Govoreći o Cassiniju,

"We have determined that Titan's methane is not of biological origin, so it must be replenished by geological processes on Titan, perhaps venting from a supply in the interior that could have been trapped there as the moon formed.

Hm, iznutra?

"The study demonstrates the existence of abiogenic pathways for the formation of hydrocarbons in the Earth's interior and suggests that the hydrocarbon budget of the bulk Earth may be larger than conventionally assumed.
Supporters of the biological theory of the origin of oil now have no basis for insisting that natural gas can only be produced from biological content, whether the biological debris specified is dead dinosaurs, ancient forests, or plankton resident in alluvial type sedimentary deposits on the continental shelf. More of this debate will need to continue. The Lawrence Livermore experimenters commented as their last conclusion that: "Finally, the potential may exist for the high-pressure formation of heavier hydrocarbons by using mantle-generated methane as a precursor." Clearly, the scientists saw the abiotic, deep-Earth origin of petroleum as a theory they now believe they can fully demonstrate under laboratory conditions.

"We’ve barely tapped, from the exploration point of view, the hydrocarbon potential that’s out there on this planet." -- Stanley B. Keith, 2005

"We're dealing with this giant flow-through system where the hydrocarbons are generating now, moving through the overlying strata now, building the reservoirs now and spilling out into the ocean now." -- Larry M. Cathles, 2003

"I don't think anybody's arguing that gas couldn't be generated from the mantle." -- Barry J. Katz, 2002

"I don't think anybody has ever doubted that there is an inorganic source of hydrocarbons." -- Michael D. Lewan, 2002

"There has not been any 'debate' about the origin of hydrocarbons for over a century. Competent physicists, chemists, chemical engineers and men knowledgeable of thermodynamics have known that natural petroleum does not evolve from biological material since the last quarter of the 19th century." -- Jack F. Kenney, 2002

"Natural petroleum has no connection with biological matter." -- Jack F. Kenney, 2001

"I believe there is a huge system of oil just migrating." -- Jean K. Whelan, 1999

"These reservoirs are refilling with oil." -- David Sibley, 1999

"The industry will never run out of oil, not in 10,000 years. Some day, it may run out of customers. Every mineral industry is a perpetual tug-of-war, between diminishing returns and increasing knowledge." -- Morris A. Adelman, 1997

"Neither we, nor our grandchildren, nor their grandchildren will live to see the end of the oil era." -- Karl-Heinz Schult-Bornemann, 1997

"The modern Russian-Ukrainian theory of deep, abiotic petroleum origins is not controversial nor presently a matter of academic debate. The period of debate about this extensive body of knowledge has been over for approximately two decades (Simakov 1986)." -- Jack F. Kenney, 1996

"Stable carbon isotopes are not a reliable criterion for distinguishing biogenic from non-biogenic petroleum." -- A.A. Giardini and Charles E. Melton, 1991

"The general concept of petroleum formation by biogenic mechanisms has been firmly entrenched for a long time, but there has been no accumulation of convincing experimental evidence in support of this belief." -- Charles E. Melton and A.A. Giardini, 1983

"The suggestion that petroleum might have arisen from some transformation of squashed fish or biological detritus is surely the silliest notion to have been entertained by substantial numbers of persons over an extended period of time." -- Fred Hoyle, 1982

"Statistical thermodynamic analysis has established clearly that hydrocarbon molecules which comprise petroleum require very high pressures for their spontaneous formation, comparable to the pressures required for the same of diamond. In that sense, hydrocarbon molecules are the high-pressure polymorphs of the reduced carbon system as is diamond of elemental carbon. Any notion which might suggest that hydrocarbon molecules spontaneously evolve in the regimes of temperature and pressure characterized by the near-surface of the Earth, which are the regimes of methane creation and hydrocarbon destruction, does not even deserve consideration." -- Emmanuil B. Chekaliuk, 1968

“Several times in the past we have thought we were running out of oil whereas actually we were only running out of ideas.” -- Parke A. Dickey, 1958

"The overwhelming preponderance of geological evidence compels the conclusion that crude oil and natural petroleum gas have no intrinsic connection with biological matter originating near the surface of the Earth. They are primordial materials which have been erupted from great depths." -- Vladimir B. Porfir'yev, 1956

"Oil is the creature of direct action of common earth forces on common earth materials." -- Wallace E. Pratt, 1942

"All the petroleum, natural gas, and bituminous fields or deposits cannot be regarded as anything else but the products of solfotaric volcanic emanations condensed and held in their passage upward in the porous tanks of all ages of the crust of the earth from the Archaean rocks to the Quaternary. Nothing is so simple and therefore nothing so natural as this origin, and we will see that it can be abundantly proven." -- Eugene Coste, 1903

"It is obvious that the total amount of petroleum in the rocks underlying the surface ... is large beyond computation." -- Edward Orton, 1888

"The capital fact to note is that petroleum was born in the depths of the Earth, and it is only there that we must seek its origin." -- Dmitri Mendeleyev, 1877

"It may be supposed that naphta was produced by the action of water penetrating through the crevices of the strata during the upheaval of mountain chains because water with iron carbide ought to give iron oxide and hydrocarbons." -- Dmitri Mendeleyev, 1877

"Whether naphta was formed by organic matter is very doubtful, as it is found in the most ancient Silurian [Ordovician] strata which correspond with the epochs of the earth's existence when there was very little organic matter; it could not penetrate from the higher to the lower (more ancient) strata as it floats on water (and water penetrates through all strata)." -- Dmitri Mendeleyev, 1877

"Petroleum is the product of a distillation from great depth and issues from the primitive rocks beneath which the forces of all volcanic action lie." -- Alexander Von Humboldt, 1804

Razumije se da i ovo može biti abiotički hoax ;))

@chaos99, apsolutno se

@chaos99, apsolutno se slažem s tobom da se strategije moraju promišljati o budućim resursima. to je neosporno.

Ja sporim sam članak tj ono što se njime postavlja kao teza.

1. autor tvrdi da kad bi u ovom trenu na svijetu isti čas proradilo dovoljno nuklearnih elektrana da zamijeni svu potrošnju fosilnog goriva (mind you, i transportnu potrošnju, ne samo elektroproizvodnju) - e tad bi iscrpli ekonomski isplative zalihe unutar 5 godina.
ja tvrdim - da je baba muško, zvala bi se duško...

2. autor je izračunao da bi se uz postupno povećanje energetske proizvodnje iz nuklearki i postupno smanjenje iste iz fosilnih goriva, s izjednačenjem proizvodnje iz oba izvora do 2050. (hence 1% povećanje u mojoj pretpostavci), u biti potrošili isti do 2018.
ja izračunao - upravo do 2050.

Sad se vratimo na početnu strategiju - odmah krenuti u istraživanje resursa. Nema se puno vremena, no ima puno neistraženog te nam to daje velike nade za iznalaženje još mnogo isplativih lokacija

Democracy is more than two wolves and one sheep voting on what to have for dinner...
