Petroleum

Well this isn’t really a white paper.

In fact, I really shouldn’t have a white paper section cause I am technically very organic which means I am not about to discourse on science and engineering.

But I did want to say a very small bit about petroleum.

Most of us don’t realize that this incredible carbon chain is not dinosaurs but organic matter compressed in the correct conditions and then locked into the correct strata at the correct depth in the correct kind of rocks to become a semi-liquid or liquid greasy black stinky substance that can be made into just about anything.

We just fill up and bitch about the cost and then some of us lament our dependence on “foreign oil”.

The answer is to stop burning petroleum and start finding solutions outside the petro paradigm.

All of us should learn more.

    What do you think of that “Sir” guy who is sinking all that dough into seeking solutions outside of the petro paradigm?
