This idiot evidently thinks oil only used to make gas! HOW DUMB!

OPEC is grateful to you

You don't use any of those products?

Petroleum in Real Life: N-95 masks​

This vital piece of personal protective equipment is made possible using petrochemicals derived from oil and natural gas.
Did you know these vital pieces of personal protective equipment are almost entirely made from petroleum-based products? The very fine filtering necessary to prevent infection is made possible by polymers like polypropylene and other petroleum derivatives – basic cloth masks don’t do the job.

Actually I have read that gasoline is the least profitable product made from oil.

In fact if we didn't use it in cars the oil companies would have to PAY to get rid of it..

Odd huh?

 

[Rigby5]

That's why we need to totally unbridle domestic production.

While oil is important, the US only has 1.3% of the world oil reserves.
So we need to SAVE our oil for when it is really expensive, not pump when its cheap.

Pathetic.

[healthmyths]

While oil is important, the US only has 1.3% of the world oil reserves.
So we need to SAVE our oil for when it is really expensive, not pump when its cheap.

Where is your source? FACTS not your guesses...

9. United States • Proven oil reserves: 50.0 billion barrels (2.9% of world total)
• 2017 daily oil production: 13.1 million barrels
• 5 yr. oil production change: +46.6%
• GDP per-capita: $59,928

The United States has 50 billion barrels of proven oil reserves, more than all but eight other countries worldwide and equal to 2.9% of the world's proven oil reserves. The United States also produces an average of 13.1 million barrels per day, the most of any country in the world and equal to 14.1% of daily global oil production. The state of Texas accounts for over a third of all oil production in the country.

These 15 countries, as home to largest reserves, control the world’s oil

The 15 countries with the largest proven oil reserves span five continents and control between 12.8 billion barrels to 303.2 billion barrels of oil.

www.usatoday.com

Now the number 1 country is:
1. Venezuela • Proven oil reserves: 303.2 billion barrels (17.9% of world total)
• 2017 daily oil production: 2.1 million barrels
• 5 yr. oil production change: -22%
• GDP per-capita: N/A

Why don't you get your facts straight before making a comment as your guess was over 50% OFF!

 

[healthmyths]

Further FACTS that people who just guess have no idea!


The United States has the largest known deposits of oil shale in the world, according to the Bureau of Land Management and holds an estimated 2.175 trillion barrels (345.8 km3) of potentially recoverable oil

Oil reserves in the United States - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

NOW another FACT!!!
Petroleum refineries in the United States produce about 19 to 20 gallons of motor gasoline and 11 to 12 gallons of ultra-low sulfur distillate fuel oil (most of which is sold as diesel fuel and in several states as heating oil) from one 42-gallon barrel of crude oil.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) - U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)

www.eia.gov

So about 20 gallons of gas per barrel... at 2,175,000,000,000 barrels in oil shale, AND with the fact that
This means that in 2022 American drivers using 369 million gallons per day.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) - U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)

www.eia.gov

So simple math...at 20 gallons per barrel and at 369 million gallons used per day..
OIL shale alone would provide 55 years of gasoline for Americans! 55 YEARS!!! And that's just shale oil!

Actually we have 3% of the world's total proven reserves.

Are there any buggy whip makers left in your family? Times change and people get retrained for other jobs.

There are going to be jobs in the gas and oil business in the USA for some time to come, but your position makes no logical sense. Are these people ONLY capable of building oil tanks? Is there any other use for their skills?

When I started out as a law clerk, word processors didn't exist. I used an IBM Selectric, scissors, clear tape, and a photocopier, to draft and edit contracts and docutments. We searched title by pouring over large metal bound books at the Land Registry Office, and I spent a lot of time going back and forth to government offices to search various records. Today, everything is done online. I can search title from the comfort of my own home, using my laptop. Closings are completed without going to the Registry Office. An entire generation of highly paid title searchers and conveyancers were put of out work.

For years, people in the areas of the country which grew tobacco, resisted any restrictions on the sale of cigarettes because it was a "personal choice", and a lot of jobs would be lost in the tobacco industry. The tobacco lobby was enormous. Now smoking is considered odious at best, and tobacco farmers turned to other crops.

Back in the early 90's, there was a book called "Green is Gold" which spent a good number of weeks on the NYT Best Seller List, and was a wake up call to business all across North America. Instead of seeing the green movement as a threat, view it as an opportunity. Patrick Carson, the author, was a Loblaws Grocery Vice President, and the company wholeheartedly embraced this philosphy, and became the leading grocer in Canada.

Are you saying your relatives can't find another market for their tanks? What did buggy makers do?

Oil and gas aren't ever going away. Far more than just fuel are made from them. Wind and solar will never be able to replace petrochemicals.

 

[daveman]

Individuals such as they are, are classified as luddites.
It will take them as long as possible to see that life does change and even exist and does well without them.

Love to see how you're going to make plastics with solar and fertilizer with wind.

 

[boilermaker55]

There certainly other and different kinds of things of which you speak that are not made of plastics, but we would not ever consider you to know anything other than fossil fuel propaganda.

Oh of course there are other "things" not made of plastics/oil... no one ever said that.
What we are pointing out though is before ban fossil materials such as oil, consider how ALL our lives would be altered.
6,000 items made from petroleum is a major impact on all our lives.

For example: Petroleum Jelly---
This statistic shows the OTC (over-the-counter) volume sales of petroleum jelly in the United States from 2011 to 2020.
In 2020, OTC sales volume of petroleum jelly in the United States reached around 40 million units.
Vaseline Jelly has many uses, including personal care, baby care, and beauty.
By sealing in moisture, it assists the skin's natural recovery to help dry skin .

You forgot to put asphalt on the list.

Oh I'm sure there are other items because the list showed 144 of 6,000 items that come from oil.

Well why don't you identify them? Here is a hint: Do a google search on "things not made from oil"!

 

[daveman]

There certainly other and different kinds of things of which you speak that are not made of plastics, but we would not ever consider you to know anything other than fossil fuel propaganda.

If you can find ways to produce petrochemically-derived materials and products as cheaply and efficiently with something other than petrochemicals, I'm all for it.

Just make sure those new ways are ready to go before you turn off the oil. I'm not interested in crippling the economy just to make environmentalists feel all warm and fuzzy.

[Muhammed]

Oh I'm sure there are other items because the list showed 144 of 6,000 items that come from oil.

I had to mention it because asphalt is kind of a big one to omit.

There is 2.6 million miles of asphalt paved roads in the USA, enough to go around the Earth over 100 times. And countless parking lots and driveways.
