Like the man said - I muniutes worth of sunshine gives you all the energy of ... a minutes worth.
A gallon of oil gives you all the energy that those carbon rich little critters that made the oil manged to absorb in their entire lifetimes!
Oil is energy rich compared to sunshine for this reason alone. you look at how much energy you get from a block of wood, that only took a few dacdes - perhaps even just years - to produce. Even that is better than fresh and natural sunlight.
