1. week of 10-29-06, science channel showed evidence that coal is burned in large plant to create high-pressure CO2 that is then pumped into canadian & us oil wells thought to be dry. but oil exists in rocks, & the CO2 pushes it out. how can it be that the CO2, a gas, stays down in the earth and never comes out as CO2? ... 2. in addition, what other means are now used to get extra oil out of the earth where it has already been drilled?
3. what is there to that "peak oil" theory that says that petroleum is forever being produced by processes at the center of the earth, which will create an infinite source of petroleum??? i think all oil comes from pressures of waters and sediments upon carbon-based life forms, not from volcanic activity or magnetism at center of the earth.
