"SPACE.com -- Titan Has More Oil Than Earth"

There is no reference to oil in that article other than in the title. It may as well have been "Titan has more plastic than Earth" or "Titan has more sugar than Earth", and been no less wrong.

Very interesting ...does add credence to the argument that oil has a geological origin, and that the "nutters" who suggest that oil wells fill up if you leave them for a while, might have a point. Also might go some way to answering the question of where life came from.

Does it? I thought it was pretty well accepted that the oil on earth is originated from biomass? Not sure how the discovery there is liquid methane on Titan changes that.

By the time we've invented the teleporter, global warming will mean it'll be raining hydrocarbons on earth too.

You mean a very large one of these?

So who gets exploration rights and more important, who will build the pipeline to move it from there to here.
