Where Does Oil Come From Anyway?

SEE HERE Just in case you thought that oil came from dead dinosaurs you need to see THIS which is the first link in a six link portrayal of how oil comes to be. Oil is dead critters, but the critters are tiny and distributed over all the waters of the world. Meanwhile, harvesting the oil is a challenge which calls for great ingenuity. Oil has the advantage of being the most compact and easily accessible mobile source of energy. Electrical vehicles are still a long way from being particularly practical and the notion that they are "clean" energy is simply nonsense. What they do is more the source of energy creation from the vehicle and it's hydrocarbon engine to a more remote power station, but then you have to pay additional costs in the inefficiencies of power line transmission and conversions for charging the batteries and the inconvenience of very short range and relatively long recharge times.
