Peak oil was of concern when I was a kid (in oil country). It was a thing when al gore was pleasuring himself with glossy magazines and before global cooling.
The idea that oil is produced by geologic process and not from biomass is chemically speaking within the realm of the possible.
But chemically speaking, it would take a very long time, so it's not going to help anybody in this millennia.
Personally I suspect that the oil we access is of the biogenic variety, with possible trace amounts being abiogenic.
The idea that we can readily and practically access an infinite supply of crude is wingnut hogwash... big oil wouldn't bother with the expense and hassle of fracking and ultra deep-sea drilling if that was the case. Or is big oil in on the davos program as well
I pay attention to this because mineral rights in MT. No interest for decades due to the nature of the geology and access, but a few years ago they bought exploratory rights. Wonder why now?
