hydrocarbon that has been put together in the past instead of taking
massive energy to put together today.

I'd like to see oil at much higher prices, sure it'll hurt, sure many will die, but
at least we'll still have some in years to come.

In the past Japan has bought MASSES of Australian coal, crushed it, and
dumped it on the harbour floor to make chips and shit outta in another 20-50
years.
