And is it possible that the earth actually needs it, rather than us? Maybe it greases a huge wheel thousands of miles below the surface.

It is the waste product from the chocolate industry. The trolls and fay folk use it as a staple food.

Oil is formed from microscopic organisms (plankton) that died in ancient seas between 10 million and 600 million years ago. They sank into the sand and mud at the bottom of the sea where sedimentary rocks formed called source rocks.

Heat and pressure distilled the organic material into crude oil and natural gas. The oil flowed from the source rock and accumulated in thicker, more porous limestone or sandstone, called reservoir rock.

This reservoir rock is what we drill for oil.

"Heat and pressure distilled the organic material"

Any chance of elaborating on this a little further ?

Can you show scientifically how this process has been replicated in a lab under conditions that are found in the realms of the earth where oil is supposed to have formed ? No need to explain the whole thing yourself, some scientific links to show how this has been proven scientifically would be appreciated.

Is it possible that oil is repleting itself. Surely, by now based on what we thought we had, it should be well gone by now.

where does one get the "facts". Everyone has their own version, and what oil is made of, is simply a theory, we have no proof.
dont u think?
what has diamonds got to do with oil?

If i crush a banana, i get mush, how do i get oil from it?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('ThePostman', ' ') It does appear that the ratio between the amount of crude we've pumped since discovery (billions upon billions of barrels) and the amount of land surface available for supporting plant life are disproportionate. Granted, there was no surburban sprawl taking up valuable real estate back then but there were still oceans, deserts, etc. that could support little or no plant life at all. It just doesn't seem to add up.
