Fletcher Prouty. Interesting point of view, Jackie. There's so much down there deep below. Let's see. I read something this past winter about the liquid (mostly iron) part of the Earth's core. The core is part mostly liquid iron and the other part of the core is mostly solid iron, just to keep this comment simple. Anyway, the liquid outer core is increasing in size--very slowly--but increasing. That's food for thought.

So it's not too much of a stretch to imagine this organic oil creature-oid increasing within the Earth at some level rather than decreasing--even though we may be using it at levels greater than the level at which it is increasing. mind. Bogus or not, it's still fun imagining Prouty's observations on some impossibly plausible level.
