      Lots of it is generated by burning biologically sequestered solar energy from hundreds of millions of years ago.

            The process still exists, its just limited to rare environments, and will never be the scale as it once was.

              The thing is that back in Carboniferous, there were the first trees but no decomposers for that so the process still exists but there are other processes that make it much more unlikely

          One of my favorite insane conspiracy theories is that petroleum is constantly produced and is a renewable resource but that fact is hidden from us because it would mean “they” wouldn’t be able to impose carbon taxes and create more profit from other energy sources.
