Petroleum and coal deposits are the remains of ancient forests that had already disappeared nearly a hundred million years before the first dinosaurs.

I think that kinda makes the point. Tree fossil remains are the bedrock for future finds? I dunno.

If only we could make oil out of past and present editions of the NY Times...

We could. Use the new MIT catalyst process to make hydrogen from water. Mix with old newspapers and you get hydrocarbons. Takes some form of energy. Nuke would work fine.
