It doesn’t matter, the powers that be are going to push to eliminate fossil fuels anyway.

There is no such thig as “fossil fuel”, that is a convenient fiction used to make people believe that the supply of hydrocarbon fuels extracted from the earth is a finite amount.

News alert. The deep crust of earth at the boundary of the rocky crust with the molten deeper layers, continues to generate new quantities of various hydrocarbons in that hellish zone known as the Mohorovičić discontinuity. Supercritical carbon dioxide acts as a powerful solvent, and a reactant in the millions of complex chemical reactions with what is also supercritical steam, water vapor compressed back into a liquid, forming new hydrocarbon compounds known as kerogens. These compounds are then forced into the rocky layers above, where they become reservoirs of crude oil, or refilling “dry” reservoirs that have been abandoned as oil wells years ago. Together with these kerogens, huge quantities of natural gas, composed of methane, ethane, propane and butane, also accumulate, and recharge the crevices and cavities within the rocky crust, to be released by “fracking”, a process that extracts this important energy source.

So the earth’s crust is generating NEW hydrocarbons, and thus meets the definition of a “renewable” energy source.
