IF oil is made by dead organic matter and intense pressure why

It would take more energy to turn them into oil then you'd get out of it.

because thats disgusting are you serious?

I dont want to be the fuel in some degenerate's car.

Would you like to pick and choose whose car you are fuel for?

>>8881389
How is it disgusting?

You literally are living of off energy created as a product of dead things as we speak.

>>8881386
It would take a long times.

>>8881413
wouldn't it be a good idea to do it for future generations?

>>8881386

We already do that. They are called garbage dumps.

True but oil can be easily transported and has a very good energy density.
It could still be economically viable to do it if we never find a way to produce graphene in large quantities.

Sure you can. When i was in school we had a project where we saponificated fat from bacon and then cracked the fat acids with a pearl catalysator. The main resultin hydrocarbon fraction was somewhat close to lighter fuel in terms of flash and boiling point.

Why don't we do it with corpses? Because the returns would be negligible and it's fucking disgusting. You can calculate how much energy is in the fat of your average landwhale if you want to, it'll be less than one tank of gas.

That's so far ahead that it's not really worth it.

Just because it has excellent energy density once it's complete doesn't mean it's an efficient way to store energy.
