Maddog,
Coal is a ‘fossil fuel’ of compressed plant life as can be seen by various imprints like ferns found within it, when massive cataclysmic forces swept the planet surface.
Oil, however, is formed in outer space by the collection of hydrogen and carbon atoms by plasma forces that aggregate it like in the tails of comets. It is not ‘outgassing’ of icy snowballs as suggested by mainstream science. Comet tails are plasma formed when an ‘outsider’ rock enters the solar system and literally short circuits the solar wind plasma coming from the sun. Tails always point away from the sun for that reason. Sometimes two tails are formed by plasma electric currents from sun and a nearby planet. These plasma tails collect free atoms of hydrogen and carbon and form ‘hydrocarbons’. When a plasma comet tail brushes past a planet, it literally ‘sprays’ oil from the sky! This is how and why Triton, an icy ball on one side, is sprayed with black crude oil on one side of the sphere. It got sprayed by a passing comet tail in the past. In Earth’s past, it acquired a massive amount of hydrocarbons that are now buried after eons of planetary cataclysms.
I learned all this from a self-supported (read: dissident) plasma physicist, James McCanney, MSci. His work is actively suppressed by TPTB and he refuses to have anything to do with government supported science work.
His website is rather deep and not well organized. He sells a lot of stuff to support himself. But I have all of his self-published books and the information is all available for those who dig deep. Just one example of his brilliant mind is one book he published on “How to Calculate Primes”. This is actively ignored and suppressed because modern math science says one cannot calculate primes! But his method works. This busts the long held idea that cryptographic keys based on prime numbers are secure because they cannot be calculated… but they can.. and thus are NOT secure!
The real truth is actively suppressed and ignored.
