In America we still allow people to voice opinions....if you do not like them, shove off in the oil world, Politics runs the show.....unless you think that the Saudis and Russians do not use Oil as a political and economic weapon...... Trump and his supporters, who detest the Green transition, tried shutting down our opinions expressed through our votes, on Jan 6......how is that working out for them????? Now the Green transition is happening ....we voted for it....sucks for you, that it is not Oil and Coal friendly........and now you attack those who vote for it by trying to suppress their opinions. Fool maybe this it not the forum for you........as you do not like the facts the Green transition is happening and Coal is toast in the US and Oil will follow in the footsteps.......Good riddance to those who think they can spew anything they want into the public space. why are you are not attacking your pal Eco for him injecting politics into the forum?????? PS put a cork in it, you senile old fart, we have too many methane emissions already..... Sleepy Joe is in charge and the Green Transition moves ahead one solar panel at a time In America we still allow people to voice opinions....if you do not like them, shove off Trump and his supporters, who detest the Green transition, tried shutting down our opinions expressed through our votes, on Jan 6......how is that working out for them????? That in itself makes no sense? Why I say yer clueless. Probably still driving an ICE like yer bud Jay. 64 isn't old as i still work everyday as I have a successful business, does consume alot of oil and byproducts, now into my 33rd year. Not senile ya twit. I do work with my employees and some have been with me 30+ years. I take care of my customers and my employees as I do understand business. So you can keep spouting rubbish, it is no doubt you fail to understand the true importance of oil. Coal is slipping slowly, which is good. Try and learn some about oil instead of bashing it. Many products and meds etc are here now from oil. Are medicines made from oil? Pharmaceuticals represent about 3% of petrochemical use but almost 99% of pharmaceuticals contain petrochemicals. Petroleum is also the foundation of transporting medicine so that patients can have it when they need it. One 42-gallon barrel of oil creates 19.4 gallons of gasoline. The rest (over half) is used to make things like: Solvents Diesel fuel Motor Oil Bearing Grease Ink Floor Wax Ballpoint Pens Football Cleats Upholstery Sweaters Boats Insecticides Bicycle Tires Sports Car Bodies Nail Polish Fishing lures Dresses Tires Golf Bags Perfumes Cassettes Dishwasher parts Tool Boxes Shoe Polish Motorcycle Helmet Caulking Petroleum Jelly Transparent Tape CD Player Faucet Washers Antiseptics Clothesline Curtains Food Preservatives Basketballs Soap Vitamin Capsules Antihistamines Purses Shoes Dashboards Cortisone Deodorant Shoelace Aglets Putty Dyes Panty Hose Refrigerant Percolators Life Jackets Rubbing Alcohol Linings Skis TV Cabinets Shag Rugs Electrician’s Tape Tool Racks Car Battery Cases Epoxy Paint Mops Slacks Insect Repellent Oil Filters Umbrellas Yarn Fertilizers Hair Coloring Roofing Toilet Seats Fishing Rods Lipstick Denture Adhesive Linoleum Ice Cube Trays Synthetic Rubber Speakers Plastic Wood Electric Blankets Glycerin Tennis Rackets Rubber Cement Fishing Boots Dice Nylon Rope Candles Trash Bags House Paint Water Pipes Hand Lotion Roller Skates Surf Boards Shampoo Wheels Paint Rollers Shower Curtains Guitar Strings Luggage Aspirin Safety Glasses Antifreeze Football Helmets Awnings Eyeglasses Clothes Toothbrushes Ice Chests Footballs Combs CD’s & DVD’s Paint Brushes Detergents Vaporizers Balloons Sun Glasses Tents Heart Valves Crayons Parachutes Telephones Enamel Pillows Dishes Cameras Anesthetics Artificial Turf Artificial limbs Bandages Dentures Model Cars Folding Doors Hair Curlers Cold cream Movie film Contact lenses Drinking Cups Fan Belts Car Enamel Shaving Cream Ammonia Refrigerators Golf Balls Toothpaste Gasoline Edited December 26, 2023 by Old-Ruffneck 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Organic chemists can make drugs without fossil fuels. Most widely-used drugs are made by bacteria in bioreactors. Do you remember how penicillin was found / originally made? Natural products drug discovery is way more widely used than brute force total synthesis from petrochemicals. 3% is nothing when Luddites talk of EV's but 3% is HUGE when it is from oil...
