I know! Oil is just a fiction and we can totally grow crops and fertilize them and make pesticides and plastics and chemicals with sunshine and rainbows which is why the population reached 8 billion by 2000 BC!

Oil is made of sunshine and rainbows dummy, where do you think the energy comes from?

Ancient plants metabolized sunshine to produce fats and sugars, which were then consumed by animals. It all got cooked into a soup from millions of years of heat and pressure. Oil is basically a solar battery.

What's wrong with gathering new solar energy?
