New Green deal ....muh Fossil Fuel ... What? is Fossil about Fossil Fuel? Of course we all know by now that peak oil  scare, and the fossil in fossil fuels can be discarded as a talking of of Standard Oil Rockefeller thingy.  For those so inclined, please show the peer reviewed studies that demonstrate the transmutation from fossil (even the word is idiotic if you understand what a fossil is) to oil. This is the so called biotic oil idea. Oil is abiotic.  Now, I happened across a Japanese group of researchers under the auspices of Dr. Akira Kouchi, investigating into the origins (oranges?) of water (H2O) on earth, because currently it is held our water must have come from somewhere else and made it' s way to our shores. .... https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-64815-6 Precometary organic matter may therefore be a potential source of water; however, to date, there have been no experimental investigations into this possibility. Here, we experimentally demonstrate that abundant water and oil are formed via the heating of a precometary-organic-matter analog under conditions appropriate for the parent bodies of meteorites inside the snow line. Yes, you read that well .... certain organic matter under heat transforms into H2O ........... AND ...... OIL.  Nakano et al.25 demonstrated that fresh precometary organics evaporate at temperatures between 200 K and 300 K and that carbonaceous materials persist at temperatures higher than 300 K.  by simulating the heating of organic matter up to several hundreds of degrees Kelvin in the parent bodies of ordinary chondrites27,28,29. Under such high-temperature conditions, the complex organic molecules present in the parent bodies can decompose into small molecules, including water, even inside the snow line, and the produced water may serve as a source material for terrestrial water. Well, I am sure this will not be the final word on the matter, but the process does explain the building blocks of live: water and carbon by natural processes.  Unfortunately, we have such a cold earth ....;-)
