Funny, the Russians have been telling us this for years, as well as OIL being Abiotic and from compressed minerals NOT FOSSIL Fuel,Ancient Algae.....
That was the comment I was about to make. The eastern block gave up on “fossil” fuel long ago. The refilling oil wells seem to agree with them. It is simply methane or carbon and hydrogen trapped in the earth’s core when the earth was formed.
Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe while carbon is a direct line element formed during chain nuclear fusion... like in a star...
