To the notion that fossil fuels are stored sunlight — this is only partially true. In fact, the much larger part of the energy stored in fossil fuels comes from the great heat and pressure of geological forces applied to biomass over time. If this were not the case, the EROEI of biofuels would be comparable to fossil fuels. Biofuels are, in effect, fossil fuels without the “fossil” part.
The phrase “ancient sunlight” is awesome prose, but it would be more accurate to refer to fossil fuels as “tectonic fat.”![]()
