Eli5 of we can make lab diamonds on a large scale why can’t we do the same for oil and gas.

What kind of thought process is this?
Oil and gas have a high energy density and you get more energy from them than what it takes to get them out of the ground, if you were to produce oil and gas you’d need to expend more energy than you’d get out.
Diamonds on the other hand are expensive only since people agreed they have value as they elevate your social status, other than that they’re not much more useful than a metal file that you have to sift through hundreds of thousands tons of material to get to.
