Biologists were surprised to discover giant tube worms living independently of photosynthesis on the deep sea floor. There's much we don't know about the Earth's ecosystems. Particularly of interest will be the possibility of intraterrestrial ecosystems, deep within the Earth. >"The biomass of these intraterrestrial organisms may be equal to the total weight of all marine and terrestrial plants." These observations may not fall in line with the current Malthusian, apocalyptic rationales. The phrase "fossil fuels" seems loaded from this perspective. Our knowledge of the natural world is constantly evolving. Making all-encompassing declarative statements might make sense in some situations, but it also makes sense to question them. https://academic.oup.com/femsle/article/185/1/9/485798 https://academic.oup.com/femsle/article/185/1/9/485798 http://scienceline.ucsb.edu/getkey.php?key=5412 http://scienceline.ucsb.edu/getkey.php?key=5412 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riftia_pachyptila https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riftia_pachyptila https://phys.org/news/2019-04-rewriting-textbook-fossil-fuels-technologies.html https://phys.org/news/2019-04-rewriting-textbook-fossil-fuel...
