it’s a FFF - forever a fossil fuel

Here's an interesting little tidbit. That which we call "Fossil Fuels" are not from fossils or necessarily organics at all. Hydrocarbon based fuel sources are being extracted at depths far deeper than any organic or biodegraded organic material could have ever existed. The Russians figured this out 50 years ago. Hydrocarbons have been found to naturally form at just the right temperatures and pressures when hydrogen and carbon are squeezed together. Guess what some of the most abundant elements on the planet are?

Theories are evolving now that may prove that the earth is constantly making hydrocarbons and they routinely leach from the lower crust to the upper crust. This also explains why so many wells produce petroleum long after they should have expected to run dry. The BP Deep Water Gulf Rig was drilling into a find that they thought might produce eternally based on the pressure, depth and type.

I'd have to find the long and boring research paper link to post.
