You've Got the Wrong Guys in Place
Among other things, they're looking in the wrong places for oil. The greatest deposits seem to be around the areas of the world that suffered some kind of cataclysmic occurrence that, although global, involved huge flushes of water. Yes, the oil fields of the Gulf are one of these areas, but there were at least five others, and one of them may be near the mouth of the Colorado River, somewhere down in the neighborhood of San Diego and the Gulf of California. It's as if such a cataclysm flushed huge quantities of large carcasses across whole continents such as North America and there may be extensive oil reserves in this area. Most of it may have been swept far deeper than usual by the subduction of the sea bed under the continental shelf under California, and therefore the sonic echo boys never picked it up. You line the pipe with synthetic diamonds and keep lowering it in. As the shaft sinks and wears out, it disintegrates to the next part of the pipe so you no longer need the bit. You just keep adding pipe on the other side. It cost more than bit replacement but only half as much as having to use the man hours to replace it. When you strike oil, you also get a core sample of what's down there as well, and that far down, there's a lot down there. When the well goes dry you can use it for thermal energy. Actually you may end up sinking wells only for the thermal energy anywhere. Another area is the five Stans of Asia. But that's in the mountains? Well, apparently it wasn't back then, and the Persian Point didn't get it all. Just like the Pennsylvania area and the Texas area didn't get all the North American reserves. In fact, the majority of it probably went west. This nuclear waste thing. You guys are still trying to isolate the pure waste. Of course you're going to have to store the stuff like that for another fifty thousand years. Just look around you. How many post volcano settlers have died of radioactivity? The earth has been dealing with radioactivity since day one. It never gets out of hand because radioactive material interacts with other elements that also have a nuclear relationship with the "hot" stuff, and it all gets absorbed. They already know that cadmium controls nuclear reactions. Yeah, I know. You knew that. If that's so, then the plot thickens. Did it on purpose, eh. Of course not. It's just your Book Cookers were worming their ways to the top of every lucrative industry they could find and when they got there, of course they were clueless. Copyright (c) 2005 by Paul A. L.
