Anyone ever wonder how many “fossils” it would take for all these years of “fossil” petroleum to have been sucked out of the Earth. And maybe the petroleum is derived from the incredible subterranean layers of pressure and heat. It has been postulated... that the supply is not finite. A thought for discussion, of something else “science” has not gotten correct, and that science has never been a consensus- always to be challenged and reproven.
Exactly. Petrochemicals are produced by the Earth and various geologic processes. “Fossil fuels” are not the same as petrochemicals (which are oil, gas, tar, bitumen).
Good post.
You say the “supply is not finite.” That is the common usage. Perhaps it’s a nitpick, but the only alternative I see to finite is infinite. Supplies are finite, not infinite.
It does seem that oil, natural gas, and coal reserves are enormous. I agree with your central point. We have so much, perhaps they are not fossil fuels after all. Regardless, drill baby drill.
