Hydrocarbons are chemicals where Hydrogen and Carbon are bonded. The chemical bonds are pretty easy to break (combustion) but much harder to make. Turns out that subduction of one tectonic plate under another is the prime factor here. Tectonic movement transport lots of rock, sediment and water deep into the Earth. There is it cooked at high temp and transported. No one really knows why, yet, but at certain locations it makes its way back near the surface as “crude” oil and gas, where we extract it.
The entire Eastern Continental shelf of the US is an example. While there is no nearby subduction zone, the shelf is almost entirely frozen Methane. Due to warmer temps, this Methan bubbles out in the lower latitudes, such a the Virgin Islands and the famous “Bermuda Triangle”. When I taught at Texas A&M a Geology Professor told me there is easily 300,000 years of extractable, inexpensive natural gas there. Not 300,000 years for the USA but for the entire world! And that is just one of many worldwide deposits.
Its not about the lack of cheap energy. It is all about control of the population.
