 Thoughts destined to be washed away by the tides of life. |

I've been studying my cover photo for a while now, and it seems to me that it is more than just a photo of what is there that can be seen, more than just three white rocks stacked on a beach. It contains an important question about the future, about what happens long after the photographer has gone. What will happen to our pile of stones when the tide comes in? Will it topple or has the architect built this structure at a safe distance? I don't know what will happen to these words that I stack here on the sand. They may prove safely distant, or they may be swallowed up by a rush of self-doubt. They may be here for a season. They may lose their balance and be scattered by the shoreline, or be hidden away under shifting sands. Perhaps someday, the tides of life will reclaim them. Or maybe that's just a bunch of poetic, romantic nonsense. After all, this is just a blog. |
| Did you know there’s a theory that oil might not be a “fossil fuel” formed by the biological processes of decaying organic materials but instead, may be produced through an abiotic process that originates in the Earth’s core from deposits of hydrocarbons and seeps up through the layers of the Earth’s crust? And further, are you aware of the possibility that this abiotic process may be ongoing - meaning that oil is a renewable resource? No, you are probably like me and didn’t know about this because the science is settled and we won’t have any new theories, thank you very much. There’s so much political power and money now thrown into the solar and wind industries, that I doubt there will be any further research into abiotic oil production. However, I found this old article from USA Today which seems to have been published before Science locked the doors and put up a “CLOSED” sign. Abiotic Oil a Theory Worth Exploring  |
