“Coal, oil and gas are called fossil fuels, because they are mostly made of the fossil remains of beings from long ago. The chemical energy within them is a kind of stored sunlight originally accumulated by ancient plants.

Like some ghastly cannibal cult, we subsist on the dead bodies of our ancestors and distant relatives.”― Carl Sagan
