No "dino" in "dino-juice"?

We've all been told that oil is a "fossil fuel" and that it is being depleted. Well, I've heard rumors to the effect that some scientists aren't sure if this is true and in fact are studying to find out where oil comes from. Today, I came across this article that says the following:

Stalin’s team of scientists and engineers found that oil is not a ‘fossil fuel’ but is a natural product of planet earth – the high-temperature, high-pressure continuous reaction between calcium carbonate and iron oxide – two of the most abundant compounds making up the earth’s crust. This continuous reaction occurs at a depth of approximately 100 km at a pressure of approximately 50,000 atmospheres (5 GPa) and a temperature of approximately 1500°C, and will continue more or less until the ‘death’ of planet earth....

Apparently Stalin wanted to find a way for Russia to produce more oil and enlisted his scientists to figure out where it came from. They may have found the source and are making good use of it.

Anyway, read the article yourself. It's very interesting.
