I'm beginning to doubt that you understand what self-evident actually means...

You made the claim.

By the way petroleum has been lab synthesised.

There's a tremendous energy source beneath the crust that could supply the required energy, and catalytic materials, as well.

It's not outside or the realm of possibility.
The point is that the cartels control the land and the extraction.

Experiments have been performed on empty wells too see if they refilled.

Spoiler: They refilled...

By the way petroleum has been lab synthesised.

Synthesized using other non renewable resources.

There's a tremendous energy source beneath the crust that could supply the required energy, and catalytic materials, as well.

That sounds speculative and not based in fact. You're willing to completely expend a not-shown-to-be renewable natural resource based on some far out, whimsical notion that we can somehow make more of it. And what stands in support of your beliefs, that fossil fuels are deeper in the Earth than you believe they should be? I dont even know how that follows. To say that's flimsy logic is a gross understatement.

It's not outside or the realm of possibility.

What is or isn't possible is pointless to consider, because anything that can possibly be true, can possibly be false, which puts us back where we started.

Here's a better plan that no one is discussing.

Let's break up the oil cartels and perfumes a global inventory.

At the same time, we could test the oil well refilling theory.

When we have better info, we could come up with a better plan.

How does that sound?

Any guesses why this obvious solution(s) isn't being proposed? Any suggestions as to why it's so difficult to get accurate figures with today's technology?

Because the perfumes smell so good?

Why not focus on geothermal everywhere? If they can drill 40,000 ft wells for oil, then install similar devices everywhere to harness geothermal.

The point is that the following fuel argument is bogus. So why was that myth used misinform the public? The energy cartels benefited.

So what else are they misinforming is about? Global warming was changed to climate change when the warming trend ended.
CO2 rates continued to increase during the cooling trend, so that can't be the driving factor.
