The modern abiotic oil theory was expounded in the 1950's and is widely accepted by metallurgists, geologists are a little slow to accept it as the current model has located most of the present oil reserves known in the world today. However the aboitic theory ALSO explains the presence of these deposits, for example the gulf states and also explains deposits such as the Dnieper-Donetsk Basin which is NOT explained by the biological origin theory.

We need better batteries to power cars and larger road vehicles over as long distances and comparable grunt as petrol currently does.

And there's less likelyhood of outsourcing this bit of work to Chenobyl...
Let the good times roll!

It's "funny" that this is happening before a Ukraine election...
Looks like the Rooskies want their boy to win this time.

Originally posted by vistaNope, that was the solution 10-20 years ago and that boat has well and truly sailed and we missed it.
I'd say a good start would be to ban petrol engines with gradual phaseout within 10 years - very low volume sports car makers can be exempt, but everyone else will have to switch to diesel. This alone would cut down fuel used by cars by good 35% while maintaining mobility. This will reduce CO2 big time too - a no brainer really, but a death penalty to Gordon Browns of this world who would lose huge chunk of revenue they get from motorists.

Originally posted by AtWThe solution is to invest money - and lots of it - into non-nuclear/non-fossil fuels, put huge grants out - all those ridiculous taxes that are being robbed from motorists in this country should go into R&D for new fuels.
It's all good and well to want green solutions but the price of gas is only going one way and many older people will die because they cannot afford to heat their homes - we are in the midst of a crisis and solutions need to be quick or more will die needlessly.
