Title: Where is the physical proof of Gold's theory?
Review: In the real world, countless oil wells have already peaked and there is little empirical evidence for Gold's ideas. How will we reach this "abiotic" oil & gas when it hasn't been found in commercial quantities with thousands of wells drilled around the world for decades? Is there an abiotic portal hiding in one secret location?Gold's big drilling experiment in Sweden's Siljan Ring turned up nothing conclusive; the hydrocarbons could have been from nearby sedimentary seepage or reactions in the drilling mud itself. Skeptical reviews of Gold's work cite no real evidence for his claims. He was no dummy, but many people become crackpots in later years, or try to force pet theories to match reality.Mr. Gold is no longer alive and the whole topic of abiotic oil is speculative at best, with few other modern proponents. It also creates apathy in people who might otherwise conserve oil instead of wasting it. Then there's the problem of AGW...
