That's a good idea, then we invest in our future with oil.

That would require a massive and expensive effort, no chance that bill would pass regardless of the jobs it would create.

I think that would make coal. Oil is made by algal anr plankton blooms, which we are also making.

Both also need heat, pressure, and time to form, so synthetic carbon products are certainly chearper.
