Is oil a renewable resource?

[Rogodin2]

Non-Renewable-A resource that is NOT capable of being naturally restored or replenished; a resource that is exhausted because it has not been replaced (e.g. copper) or because it is used faster than it can be replaced (e.g. oil, coal [what we call fossil fuels]). Their use as material and energy sources leads to depletion of the Earth's reserves and are characterized as such as they do not renew in human relevant periods (They are not being replenished or formed at any significant rate on a human time scale).

Oil is more renewable than copper?

I swear the IQ of ATOT has been cut in half the past year or so. Just wait until all of the middle schoolers get out next month...

 

[Rogodin2]

Absolutely. There is not a finite supply of oil.

Oil is infinite? Your own country invades the most oil rich region in the world and you think it flows in the circles that irrigate the wheat that you eat in your bread?

I thought you understood-as I've said in the last 30 posts-your head is so far up your azz that you CAN'T understand.

You post a sig that states many people need to understand logical fallacies before they post-yet you presuppose that people understand the finite level of oil? If they can't use logic as a tool then they can't understand the basic premise of resource levels.

You might want to use your own sig as a map to thinking and posting in my threads.

Rogo

Wow, you're such a pompous ass. Did you make this thread just to say "hey, look how smart I am!"?

Honestly, I wonder this myself. At the very least Rogo's attitude is only going to serve to annoy the majority of posters since most people don't really respond well to the "holier than thou" approach, especially given that the vast majority of responses here seem to be well though out and reasonable, the sad thing is that pretty much every post here is agreeing with Rogo in principle, it is only that he cannot "see the forest for the trees" and is attacking them based on small details (which incidentally he is wrong about and the other posters are correct).

Do you deny the fact that oil is still being produced by the natural processes of the Earth?

God I had parasites-that's you NKGREEN.

That's old school vernacular btw you stupid punk. Smile for me.

I need some primary source material to validate your claims. I've not seen any yet in this thread-and I suspect I never will.

you hate parasites? might as well go jump off a bridge then. The worst thing to ever happen to this planet is humans.

You're the one making the exceptional claim. The burden of proof is on you. Please find me valid articles which support your thesis that oil is no longer being produced by the planet.

Not by that definition no. However keep in mind that Earth's time scale makes a human time scale look pretty silly. (That is merely going by our perception of how old the Earth is, which is pretty scientifically accepted)

Seriously, this thread is like making a poll asking if the sky is blue, or if water contains hydrogen.

Oil isn't being prodcued enough to renew the fields that we're using.

this thread is just idiotic, the OP asks a stupid question and then gets mad when people don't give him the answer he wants to hear. We don't need you people from peakoil.com coming over and talking down like we don't already all know that oil is not renewable. However the fact is that oil IS produced by decaying organic material now just like it was millions of years ago, however the rate of production is insignificant compared to current consumption. WE can argue technicalities about oil being renewed, we can just as easily say wind and solar will some day run out (when the sun goes bye-bye) however for all intents and purposes wind and solar are constant and oil is diminishing. This is COMMON KNOWLEDGE and it doesn't take a stupid thread to tell people stuff that we have probably all know wince we were 10 years old.

:thumbsup:

Technically all sources of energy are fundamentally non-renewable.

Technically oil is renewable.

Practically, oil is non-renewable.

According to the governmental definitions, oil is non-renewable.

So the real answer depends on how technical you want to be.

nobody is saying that it is.

 

[Rogodin2]

What the hell are you arguing then?

Oil isn't renewable-it doesn't replace itself on any measured 'cycle'.

Whay are you being stupid?

Do you honestly expect people to listen to you with your attitude? No one is going to change their fuel habits because some douchebag like yourself goes around making flamebait threads everyday about how we are ruining the enviroment.

Yep, you're a treehugger.

why the fvck did you ask this if you already knew the answer? so you could debunk and yell at everyone in this thread?

sheesh. the forum would be soo much better without trolls.

I think nuclear power plants are renewable because given an infinite amount of time, nature could build one simply by chance.

A barrel or more of oil can be made in about month's time with a 20 point energy gain.

Again google Thermal Depolymization.

Yeah, it's too bad parody threads mean bannation, I could just imagine some of the gems from this one.

Rogo: You are arguing semantics, and stating the obvious. That is why people are arguing with you.

I hope someone reads my posts and my links and thinks twice about their inane life (as yours seems to be NG).

To post a lock from a request from an insignificant poster like (Ihatemyjob) is below the forum rules.

My attitude? I'm just reacting to the hostility posted here.
