    Fossil Fuel comes from dead plankton and algae, much older and more plentiful than this poor fellow and his colleagues. He isn’t going to achieve his aspirations.

      I had a geophysicist explain this to me in detail after I quipped that our job was to make sure the dinosaurs didn’t die for nothing.

        I always wondered why there could be a shortage of coal and fossil fuel since it should be constantly made on various layers. Then I looked it up. Seems like that is all there will be in any quantity, especially for coal but also for fossil fuel though I have seen less about whether more fuel is being made by the biomass that falls in the ocean… I can’t find that information on a quick search when I’m supposed to be doing cad drawings right now … heh.
