[Swprograms] CBC Quirks and Quarks This Weekend

[Joe Buch <joseph.buch@xxxxxxx>]

A very timely subject this week as oil hits $50 per barrel.

Hello

This Week on Quirks & Quarks:

Squeezing oil from a stone.

With the price of oil reaching new heights this week, people are more
worried than ever about running out of this scarce resource that fuels
our modern societies. We all know that oil is a finite resource, made
from the plants and animals of the ancient past.  But what if we're all
wrong?  What if oil is actually produced geologically, and not
biologically? Maverick scientist, the late Dr. Thomas Gold believed 
that an unlimited supply of oil could exist deep in the earth's crust,
produced simply by squeezing rock and water.  Now some new research
indicates he could have been right.  

Plus - Bower bird bullies beat up their neighbour's bowers.

All this and more on Quirks & Quarks, Saturday right after the noon
news on Radio One.
