Is oil a renewable resource?

Question

i need this for a project due to tomorrow so please answer!

Answer 1

no, not at all

in fact, it takes millions of years for fossil fuels to be made which can then be used as oil. if it was renewable, gas prices would not be sky high and the use of oil would not be as controversial.

Answer 2

No, not at all. Oil, is a non-renewable resource because it takes millions of years for it to form. Same with petrolium, natural gas, coal, and fossil fuels. Now that oil and that stuff is running out and we have 30 years of it left the gas price is increasing.

Renewable resources are trees, water, animals, etc. Its like anything that comes from nature that you can recycle again.
