Tell that to all the bacteria I've been working with that consume oil! Oil has tons of energy tied up in all those bonds, the only reason most microorganisms don't use it is because they can't get past the whole insoluble-in-water-thing. But, for those that do find a way, oil = feast time.
In fact, that's why so many times we drill and think we found oil, only to find out it's all been chewed up and spoiled by bacteria already. Usually just a bunch of useless short-chain hydrocarbons are left. Just like if you left a piece of chicken on your countertop too long.

Can I please see the before, "untweaked for clarity" comic? All the confusion before you changed it has made me so curious about it.

The tweaks were relatively minor - I added the words in the second panel, made the photograph blurry, and added the second rock figure in the background of the third panel.
That said, if humanity was decimated, and I had the power to bring them back, I would not. But I would prevent the suffering of currently existing humans.
