Original Note:
The term “fossil fuel” was not created by American businessman J.D. Rockefeller to induce the idea of scarcity for oil. The earliest occurrence of the term features in a book published in 1759 by German chemist Caspar Neumann. https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-fossil-fuel-rockefeller-idUSL1N2QQ1UK
