I was wondering if anyone would bring up this theory, which Cindy Riley
refers to below, that oil may be renewable, and may not be the product of
decayed organic material. Thomas Gold of Cornell has written a book on the
subject called The Deep, Hot Biosphere. It is a fascinating subject, with
lots of food for thought. An abstract of the book may be found at

As I recall, this theory of petroleum being "renewable" posits gasses
constantly escaping from deep within the earth, forming petroleum towards the
surface. While this may be good news to drivers of SUV's the fact remains that
the burning of petroleum products does not release "short-term storage carbon"
but rather, new material, into the atmosphere. This still makes wood and other
vegetable products a cleaner choice for the environment than petroleum.
