The claim that oil is constantly being made and is nearly unlimited is a misunderstanding of geological science and is not supported by the evidence from commercially viable oil deposits.

• Fossil Fuel Classification: Oil is classified as a fossil fuel because the vast majority of commercial reserves are demonstrably biogenic (formed from ancient living matter). Geochemical analysis consistently finds biomarkers (chemical signatures derived from ancient plankton and algae) in crude oil, which is impossible if the oil were purely non-biological.
  
• Time Scale of Formation: While new oil is technically being created in the Earth today, the process takes millions of years under specific conditions of heat and pressure. The rate of natural formation is negligible compared to the billions of barrels consumed annually by humans. Therefore, from a human perspective, the resource is finite and non-renewable.
  
• Scarce/Unlimited Supply: The fact that we must drill deeper, use more complex and expensive extraction methods (like hydraulic fracturing), and explore increasingly remote locations (like the deep ocean) directly refutes the idea of a nearly unlimited, easily accessible supply. If oil were constantly regenerating, reservoirs would not deplete—but they do. The economic reality of depletion is the clearest evidence against the "unlimited" claim.
  
• "Abiogenic" Hypothesis: The idea that oil is constantly regenerating is linked to the abiogenic theory, which suggests oil forms from inorganic materials deep in the mantle. While simple hydrocarbons (like methane) can form this way, the abiogenic theory fails to explain the vast majority of large, complex crude oil deposits found within sedimentary rock formations in the Earth's crust.
  

 

Now thats some AI bs

 

Power it with whatever, just make sure its a SCAB and it has the Pro Access Tailgate. LOL

 

"The clearest evidence."

U.S. average annual retail gasoline prices (regular grade, per gallon), adjusted for inflation, extending to earlier decades using available data.

Decade averages (inflation-adjusted to 2022 dollars, using gasoline-specific CPI where applied):

• 1970s (1970–1979): Approximately $4.30 (high due to oil crises)
• 1980s (1980–1989): $4.23
• 1990s (1990–1999): $4.20
• 2000s (2000–2009): $4.21
• 2010s (2010–2019): $4.09
• 2020s (2020–2024, partial): Approximately $4.00 (nominal averages: 2020 ~$2.17, 2021 ~$3.00, 2022 ~$3.95, 2023 ~$3.52, 2024 $3.30; real values lower in recent years)

2025 (as of December 2025, partial year): Nominal average approximately $3.10 (prices fell below $3.00 in late 2025); inflation-adjusted real price among the lowest since 2020.

Several data centers are in the planning/approval stages in the area. At least 2 didn't make it through the zoning approval hearings due to citizens opposition.

Those places are real energy hogs. Electricity price per Kw here went up 25% in the last year due to the anticipated demand. The 3 Mile Island unit 1 is being restarted to feed one of the centers. Another is planned as a neighbor to another nuke plant on the Susquehanna river in central PA. 25.5 gigawatts demand is anticipated in PA alone.

I now cannot see how an increasing electric car charging demand and these data centers could have ever existed together. Was the data center plan the nail in the coffin for electric cars? I think data center demand along with current battery charging technology will further delay any electric car initiatives for the forseeable future.

I personally prefer traditional gasoline power and wouldn't consider anything else except for a non plug-in hybrid, but never in a pick up truck.

 

Global warming has been cancelled, at least the hoax of it all. The greenie's that point the finger at us, have bigger ambition$

how about a steam powered- your reactor would generate steam
