Oil is from plankton and algae, and coal is from terrestrial plants. It’s all vegan
Comment on If fossil fuels aren't vegan that would mean almost nobody is actually vegan.

Oil is vegan, though.
It’s made from the remains of dead plants.

Plankton does contain animals.

Phytoplankton is composed of plants. Zooplankton and Ichthyoplankton are composed of animals.

Also, I’m not sure how vegans view corpses of animals.
Like a dead cow, chicken, or pig? Probably not favorably.

I’d argue the extraction, refinement and typical uses of petroleum oil are somewhat not-vegan.
