Despite the commonality of ‘fossil’ being used in conjunction with ‘fuel’, fossil fuels do not exist. Fossils have no energy to transfer, which means they cannot be used as a source of fuel.
In order to understand why it is impossible for fossils to be used for fuel, it is important to understand what fossils are.
From Discovering Fossils:
The modern use of the word ‘fossil’ refers to the physical evidence of former life from a period of time prior to recorded human history. This prehistoric evidence includes the fossilised [sic] remains of living organisms, impressions and moulds [sic] of their physical form, and marks/traces created in the sediment by their activities. There is no universally agreed age at which the evidence can be termed fossilised [sic], however it’s broadly understood to encompass anything more than a few thousand years. Such a definition includes our prehistoric human ancestry and the ice age fauna (e.g. mammoths) as well as more ancient fossil groups such as the dinosaurs, ammonites and trilobites.
Fossils are, in essence, lifeless rocks with no stored energy of any kind.
A fundamental law of physics is energy cannot be created or destroyed. It must be transferred from an already existing force – which cannot possibly be inanimate rocks. For fuel to be taken from fossils requires the discarding of a law that cannot be violated.
As longtime (and now retired) writer for Plastics Today, Claire Goldsberry, reported:
The term “fossil fuel” is really a misnomer that caught on and is still being used.

What is the conversion rate between dinosaurs and horsepower?
If memory serves, isn’t there a moon of one of the giant planets that is mostly methane? How did the dinos get up there to die and make methane?
Oh be quiet, you old dinosaur.
“The false term “fossil fuel” implies that we’ll run out of it.”
Yep.
Space Dinos!
The sun actually is moving, but that doesn’t account for the relative motion resulting in a “sunrise”.
Language is human centric, and always will be. There wasn’t a need or a will to change the term post-Copernicus.
FAKE SCIENCY STUFFIN’! I know for a fact that oil comes from dinosaurs cuz Chevron told me so! :D Man, I still remember this commercial from the 70s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gei3gpG2IYU
Talk about hoaxes, the fossil fuel theory has been peddled against common sense from the beginning of time. I’m really down on the stupidity of humanity, that can be led to slaughter (death jab, gas chambers, etc.) while convincing themselves it’s all for their own good. That’s why Globalist know they can lead world humanity around by the nose and get away with it. If the death jab didn’t destroy enough of humanity, now they are pushing to thin the herd even more with nukes and destroy what’s left of the world in the process.
And convenience centric. There really is no quick phrase for what’s really happening. So sun rise it is.
Free Range Energy!
‘Some phrases just stick.’
why do we call it a ‘driveway’ when we park on it, and a ‘parkway’ when we drive on it...?
Actually, the sun is moving. It is orbiting the center of the Milky Way and also has a Z-motion up and down, like the horse on a merry-go-round.
But the sun's orbit has nothing to do with our sunrise/sunset.
Because ‘educators’ in schools would like everyone to believe there were a finite number of prehistoric animals that somehow got converted into oil, and THUS the supply of oil is finite and dwindling to nothing. Oh noes!!!
I should have read to the end before posting PGR88 hit the nail way before I fumbled a post.
Is the essayist a grammar nazi or science nazi? Is he afraid that someone might find a fossil in his backyard and try to shove it in his gas tank?
All the actual fossils found in coal are another great source of evidence.
Whether their might be some abiotic component in other formations is interesting.
Oil is not coal.
Coal is not oil.
