it is called fossil fuel for a reason

Sarah Palin.. I am sure we all.. sadly.. know who she is.. wrote an OpEd in the Washington Post that had this line in it:

"We are ripe for economic growth and energy independence if we responsibly tap the resources that God created right underfoot on American soil."

No Sarah.. your great being in the sky did not create that. Dying dinosaurs did. You know.. those big lizards that lived millions of years ago. Yes Sarah.. I know this might come as a shock to you, but this planet is really old.
