Challenging the prevailing notion that crude oil and natural gas are depleting, the book explores the origins of hydrocarbons and their presence on celestial bodies, including comets and other planets. It argues that these substances are not biologically derived but rather result from geological processes in the Earth's mantle. The author, Hans-Joachim Zillmer, suggests that the planet is abundant in methane, implying that fears of an energy crisis may be unfounded. This perspective invites readers to reconsider the future of energy resources and their implications for global economics and politics.
