Not to mention the oceans of oil.

Old theories are sometimes difficult to shake off. They're established truths. We've been told all our lives that fossil fuels came from dead plants and animals and it is a finite resource, but they are most probably constantly generated by the earth's crust. Likewise, we thought the earth's water come from comets crashing on earth, but water too seems to be produced by the earth's own crust.

Coal is from plants, just crack open a bit and take a peek at the fern imprints.

Oil, tho, can be made out of carbon and whatever else is lying about under pressure. It is probably not limitless since we might consume it faster than bring it up, but it is immense. “Peak Oil” was just more commie trash crappola — like “silent Spring”.

They are idiots. If it’s finite did plants and animals stop dying?

Think of the crap in the oceans.

And if oil is from dead dinosaurs, how did we find dinosaur bones in the La Brea tar pits?

Hmmm
