"Running out of oil" is like saying we are running out of rain. Modern thinking people understand the carbon cycle.
Until you can prove that the kinetics of formation are as fast or faster than the consumption rate, your point is practically irrelevant.
'zackerly...
the side claiming limitless supplies know nothing of the rate of formation.
And never answer how coal is clearly plant based.
I'm living in an area which has multiple coal seams, the process has happened many, many times over the formation of this region...some are 6', some are 6", some are black sandstone.
There's other deposits in the country that haven't baked yet, and while being mined are coming out with tree stumps.
Yes, coal is being made somewhere, even at this point, but we are clearly consuming faster than it's being formed...and clearly it's origin is plant based.
