"fossil" fuels are a myth. They are not the result of geological action on biology but the result of biological action on geology. That's a quote from Thomas Golds "The Deep Hot Biosphere" which I'm reading at the moment. There are technically only two fuels that qualify as "fossil fuel" and they are poor fuel, hardly used - peat and lignite. Gold says even coal is not a fossil fuel, it is a late - hydrogen-starved form of oil, late as in late in it's journey up through the crust. The trace biological matter found in oil, which led people to believe it was biogenic, is actually the trace of bacteria in the deep hot biosphere that feeds of hydrocarbons, uses them for energy. Oil and coal are renewable resources, primordial, independent of the surface biosphere and current functioning of the sun.
