One thing which has never been discussed in the media: if petroleum products came from plants and animals that died LONG AGO, what has become of the plants and animals that died not so long ago? Do they turn into petroleum products also, or into something else, like processed cheese or Styrofoam?
Oil as a finite resource is nothing more than an urban myth.
Science has shown that myth is not true, but it is obtusely politicaly incorrect to mention the white oily elephant in the room.
Oil is created around 200 miles below the earths surface. Some of the radioative elements play a part in the process. Helium is given off as a by product. The chemical process is not fully understood, but the geophysics are understood.
Oil is being replaced with oil that has vastly different chemical signatures than the original sources.
I laugh at these little dweebs who cannot face the truth.
