Oil is not our ancestors? It's almost 100% plants and algae, neither of which are ancestors of ours.

Plus, these plates are made of plastic.... which requires oil to make.

This is not the solution to drilling oil. I'm not even convinced these devices would ever even offset their own carbon emissions.

But hey, if it makes uneducated people feel good, I guess that's something.

Everything is our ancestors. We are just bits of the universe exploring itself.

I love that you say we need physicists not artists and then spout some of the most artsy unscientific bullcrap I've heard lol

You do not know the defintion of "ancestor", clearly. Ancestors are things you are decended from, as in like a father or mother. We are literally not the ancestor of those algae. They evolved well after the division in the biological tree that separated us. We have plenty of ancestors from those oil biomass days, but oil is not our ancestors.

You clearly think it's special, talking about double creations and shit. The carbon doesn't care. We're all just stardust. Stop romanticizing and anthromorphizing it.
