FIRST off, is the roads we drive on. Yes, asphalt is made from oil. Also many many parts of the electric cars he is pushing. Plastic dashboards, door parts, computer chips, shocks, seat fabrics, carpets, lubricating fluids, on and on and on. Keeping with the products they want us to push like Solar & Wind. Solar Panels have parts made from oil as do Wind Turbines.
The list of products made from Oil & Gas is shockingly long. To get your mind thinking in this direction ( if you already do not know ) “think plastic”. Look around you and take in all the things in your home or work made from plastic. TV’s, Computers, cell phones, printers, remotes, modems, charging cords, electrical outlets, your PVC water and drain pipes, etc…
Now let’s look at fabrics. Yes, many products like clothing, upholstery, yarn, backpacks, sheets, blankets pillows, shoes, sneakers, flip-flops, curtains, etc… are made from petroleum-based fabrics.
How about hygiene? Yes, many deodorants, dish-washing liquids, laundry soaps, cold creams, shampoo, shaving cream, hair coloring, and more. All are made from petroleum.
We all just went through COVID which may have opened our eyes to medical things like gloves, syringes, bandages, rubbing alcohol, hand sanitizer, masks, gowns, and on and on. To say nothing of the hospital equipment made from plastics. Again all made from Oil & Gas by-products.
Maybe they should have watched the video below from the History channel before getting all righteous? Unless of course, They really have no real desire or intention to “End Fossil Fuels” or "Stop Oil Now"?
Look.... If you don't like it don't use it!!! More power to you and I can respect the commitment.
Just stop telling me I have to sacrifice, while you then hop on a plane to hold up traffic in another country.
