Is oil a renewable resource?

[Rogodin2]

Yes or no.

Rogo

 

[txrandom]

Yes, it just renews at a slow pace.

 

[RedArmy]

Just want to a view?

 

[Rogodin2]

LOL

That's a negatory.

So you think all the oil that is on the earth just magically formed one day?

 

[drinkmorejava]

lol, there's no possible way to argue that it is. Yes, it renews at some unappreciable small amount, but that amount in no way, shape, or form, affects the available supply of it. It's about on the same level as saying dinosaur meat is renewable because if someone with enough money managed to somehow get intact DNA into a frog egg and grow one, we'd have an unlimited supply of it.

I'd suggest NOT trying to argue that Oil is something the earth sustains/produces in a renable cycle.

I think you really mean petroleum... I'd argue that there are renewable oils.

Such as cooking oil.

When I capitalized Oil I thought most people would understand the ostensible use of the word.

So it does renew on a small scale?

Except dinosaurs are extinct. Fossil fuels come from more than just dinosaurs.

I say we should help renew the oil supply by killing more stuff.

 

[Rogodin2]

By every government standard we cannot replace the oil that we burn.

Is Oil based energy equivalent to hydro or wind based energy?

I'd say we've destroyed enough life (700,000+) in our most recent war.

[Rogodin2]

Make the "yes" fly

Rogo

 

[Jeff7]

Renewable? Yes.
Renewable in a practical sense? No.

where are you getting 700,000+ from?

Look up the definition of renewable resource.

That seems... inflated. I smell a left winger.

Yes by government standard it's not renewable because it's on a small scale that it's not feasible. But your question didn't ask that.

very very very very slowly.

 

[Theguynextdoor]

Yes, decaying compost under tons of pressure. Like Coal. It just renews too slowly to be practical.

Also it is not renewable by humans. Google Thermal Depolymization.

Is this the caveman arguement?

Fire wasn't a renewable resource before Promithius.

I'm assuming your a modern man by asking the question.
