  Fossil fuels are from shit the dinos ate, like plants and other dumb crap. The belief that coal-rollers are cool enough to burn liquid dinosaurs is easily the single biggest lie of the oil industry.

    The whole term fossil fuel is wrong.

    I mean some small part of it is dino. But yeah by biomass it’s mostly plant.

  And Africa, and South America, and the middle east, and Europe. Don’t pretend the rest of the world isn’t still burning fossil fuels it’s not just the US

    USA is pretty much the biggest country actively fighting against better methods in favor of fossil fuels, so I’d say it’s an accurate statement

      Meanwhile, in reality, large chunks of the world still use coal as their primary power source. Hell, Germany’s coal share is higher than the US’.
