"Petroleum is not a fossil fuel unlike coal."

Petroleum is the ultimate fossil fuel.

fossil: a remnant, impression, or trace of an organism of past geologic ages that has been preserved in the earth's crust

And everybody knows today's oil came from long dead organisms, many believe to be the remains of dinosaurs.

That's why I can puff my eco-friendly chest out when I say, "My F-150 is powered by recycled dinosaurs" :) :)

Yeah ... UNLIKE EVERY OTHER MINERAL WE PULL OUT OF THE GROUND ...

How does that work exactly?

Not true

The actual organic process for making oil/natural gas is not well understood at all.

Now that man is finding oil/natural gas at depths far beyond that which any plant/animal matter could exist, it seems as if it is a natural process of the Earth. It serves some purpose that mankind does not understand.
