Like if the government said tomorrow that all fossils are government protected would the fossil fuel industry collapse?

Wait... do you think fossil fuels come from grinding up fossils or something?

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

It'd be way too hard to back that kinda distinction without a complete understanding of the earth and it's history anyways? So, no?

It's not like people grind up t rex skeletons to make oil

It's like a very young child's understanding of how fossil fuels work...

No. It would be annoying for exploration and thumping in places like Wyoming, but with horizontal drilling you could get to any oil without disturbing any near surface fossil beds.

Also to an extent surface fossil deposits are already protected.

I just went down to the museum to fill up my tank. Times are tough.
