Nobody is waiting around for millions of years at a fuel pump. How long something took to be created is not the concern people have. It took billions of years for elements other than hydrogen, to explode, and then form the objects in our solar system.

Sure, burning fossil fuels is not good, but what's even worse is sitting around doing nothing for an hour while a battery charges.
