Yet another “Green Energy” hoax.

By the way, again, what exactly is fossil fuel? Everybody keeps using this term. According to estimates I have seen, from 1969 to 2018, a fifty-year span, the world has consumed 1.306 trillion barrels of oil. Over 1.3 trillion barrels are estimated to have been used, just since 1969. About how many dinosaurs where there roaming the earth? Hint: there is no such thing as fossil fuel.

what exactly is fossil fuel? It is fossilized sunlight.

The ancient sun warmed the earth. The plants absorbed it and produced cellulose. When those leaves died they fell and piled up for millions of years. Covered by natural winds they compressed into carbon. COAL! When burned they release the trapped sunlight in the carbon. So when you turn on the lights you are using ancient sunlight. The original Solar Power.

Willie Soon reports that “fossil fuels” have been found beyond earth.

I vote for the abiotic origins of so-called fossil fuels. In any case, we are not running out. We probably never will run out. The first credible signal that supplies are becoming scarce will be rising prices (in the absence of government action).

...what exactly is fossil fuel?...there is no such thing as fossil fuel.

Actually there is, but it's not dinosaurs...it's plankton.

The Great Plains of the Midwest were once ancient seabeds. You can occasionally find seashells in the sand out there. When oil geologists discover the "fossils" of diatoms...plankton...in their drilling, they can be hopeful they are on the right track.

Of course much oil also comes from the ocean floor where the dead plankton and other sea-life slime accumulates and rots under tons of pressure.

Saturn’s moon, Titan, has WAY more methane than the Earth…and I’m pretty certain that dinosaurs didn’t live there. It is produced by natural planetary mechanisms.

Oh, BTW, methane is a greenhouse gas - and Titan is a frozen wasteland that is colder than the coldest Arctic night in Winter. So much for greenhouse gases warming the planet - that’s BS as much as fossil fuels and recycling plastic. All that environmentalism is, is another way to control people and lighten their wallets, IOW a giant scam.

Well, technically the source rocks that the hydrocarbons are derived from are full of fossils. Mostly microscopic algae and such. And all limestone reservoirs contain significant amounts of fossils. Most sandstone reservoirs are mostly sand grains.

7. Need much more information on CCI, especially who runs it and funds it

Soros was deeply involved in the Open Society Foundation.
Old leftists were involved including Morton Haperin and possibly Vann Jones.

That’s why I refer to coal, natural gas, and oil as hydrocarbons. That they are, regardless of one’s beliefs regarding the “big bang,” evolution, and the earth being “billions” of years old...
