Right! I’ve been saying this for a long time—that we should quit calling it “fossil fuel.” The earth produces oil. The false term “fossil fuel” implies that we’ll run out of it.

“The false term “fossil fuel” implies that we’ll run out of it.”
Yep.
Actually, I read some things regarding this back in the early or mid 1980s. It really has never been an area of my studies, or frankly my interest. Still, I have considered it as valid for about that many years.
Still, I wonder about those Tar Pits in L.A. I drove right by them back around 1988, but neither my brother nor my cousin (whom I was chauffeuring) were willing to stop. I have since regretted that missed opportunity.
I think about those critters who were snared there and they died, their carcasses decomposed into something that might over eons have become a crude oil. I dunno, as above, not my area.
