"Fossil Fuel" is fiction

Abiogenic origin of hydrocarbon is not at all fiction. What do you think the "recent" discovery of vast natural gas fields in eastern US is about? The fields are below old coal beds and oil well zones of Pennsylvania and West Virginia, just like abiogenic theory predicted for decades. Do you believe "peer-reviewed" paper more or do you believe in actual hydrocarbon more on this topic?

It's trivial to make oil from natural gas (if it is desirable at all). The "hydrocracking" process currently in use is in many ways converting shorter hydrocarbon chains (would be in gas form if not for the high pressure underground) into longer chains underground, so what shows up above ground is in liquid form (aka "oil").
