Petroleum is not a fossil fuel unlike coal.The earth creates it in the course of its high core temperature.
Oh yeah. I forgot about that. Algore, IIRC, mentioned the earths core is millions of degrees. Thus asbestos shoes and undies.
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" :) :)
There is no such thing as a “fossil fuel” ... all carbon based fuels were produced by Earth processes.
