Funny!
Oil and coal is fossilized biological matter that was once alive on the
SURFACE of the earth or oceans and then died and got burried 300 million years ago.
.
There is plenty of molten nickel and iron in the core of the earth if you want that.
.
How much left? Supply and demand will form a platue after 2030 as we frac the last drops of oil and gas from every crack in the surface of the Earth. That will last another 50 years until it inevitibly falls off the top and production slides down over the next 100 years. Forever. Coal and gas will be around a bit longer to help keep us warm.
.
Anyone that really thinks a starving and freezing humanity won't level every mountain and frac every crack for it's burried treasure is completely wasting their time protesting when they should be focusing on how to use this energy wealth to transform civilization to a sustainable carbon free economy.
