I think it's 'bad form' (ie., bordering on inappropriate) to post that in a group that has nothing to do with any of that.

To make it worse, I searched for hydrocarbon and then Civilizations and didn't find your discussion.

I don't know enough about hydrocarbon resourses and our use of them to know if they are sufficient. But it sounds interesting

I respect your opinion and yet I'd like to offer that I think it's okay to do this once in another discussion area that seems productive, but it wouldn't be cool to do this in every single one.
