Is it true that oil is a renewable resource?
No. Multiple reference and peer-reviewed sources state that oil (petroleum) is a non-renewable fossil fuel that takes hundreds of millions of years to form and is used far faster than it is replaced. One book notes that only the contested abiotic-origin theory would imply oil is renewable.
