Fossil Fuels? Maybe not
Did you know there’s a theory that oil might not be a “fossil fuel” formed by the biological processes of decaying organic materials but instead, may be produced through an abiotic process that originates in the Earth’s core from deposits of hydrocarbons and seeps up through the layers of the Earth’s crust? And further, are you aware of the possibility that this abiotic process may be ongoing - meaning that oil is a renewable resource?

No, you are probably like me and didn’t know about this because the science is settled and we won’t have any new theories, thank you very much. There’s so much political power and money now thrown into the solar and wind industries, that I doubt there will be any further research into abiotic oil production. However, I found this old article from USA Today which seems to have been published before Science locked the doors and put up a “CLOSED” sign.
