One crisp winter morning in Sweden, a cute little girl named Greta woke up to a perfect world, one where there were no petroleum products ruining the earth. She tossed aside her cotton sheet and wool blanket and stepped out onto a dirt floor covered with willow bark that had been pulverized with rocks. “What’s this?” she asked.
“Pulverized willow bark,” replied her fairy godmother.
“What happened to the carpet?” she asked.
“The carpet was nylon, which is made from butadiene and hydrogen cyanide, both made from petroleum,” came the response.Greta smiled, acknowledging that adjustments are necessary to save the planet, and moved to the sink to brush her teeth where instead of a toothbrush, she found a willow, mangled on one end to expose wood fibre bristles.
“Your old toothbrush?” noted her godmother, “Also nylon.”
“Where’s the water?” asked Greta.
“Down the road in the canal,” replied her godmother, ‘Just make sure you avoid water with cholera in it”
“Why’s there no running water?” Greta asked, becoming a little peevish.
“Well,” said her godmother, who happened to teach engineering at MIT, “Where do we begin?” There followed a long monologue about how sink valves need elastomer seats and how copper pipes contain copper, which has to be mined and how it’s impossible to make all-electric earth-moving equipment with no gear lubrication or tires and how ore has to be smelted to a make metal, and that’s tough to do with only electricity as a source of heat, and even if you use only electricity, the wires need insulation, which is petroleum-based, and though most of Sweden’s energy is produced in an environmentally friendly way because of hydro and nuclear, if you do a mass and energy balance around the whole system, you still need lots of petroleum products like lubricants and nylon and rubber for tires and asphalt for filling potholes and wax and iPhone plastic and elastic to hold your underwear up while operating a copper smelting furnace and . . .
“What’s for breakfast?” interjected Greta, whose head was hurting.
"Fresh, range-fed chicken eggs,” replied her godmother. “Raw.”
“How so, raw?” inquired Greta.
“Well, . . .” And once again, Greta was told about the need for petroleum products like transformer oil and scores of petroleum products essential for producing metals for frying pans and in the end was educated about how you can’t have a petroleum-free world and then cook eggs. Unless you rip your front fence up and start a fire and carefully cook your egg in an orange peel like you do in Boy Scouts. Not that you can find oranges in Sweden anymore.
“But I want poached eggs like my Aunt Tilda makes,” lamented Greta.
Tune in tomorrow when Greta needs a root canal and learns how Novocain is synthesized.
We will socialize Russian Oil. We will Democratize Iranian Oil. Palestinians have no oil, so....................

Whale oil is fossil fuel, not water. Water is a simple combination of two types of gaseous characteristics condensed into a liquid form so unique it expands heated or chilled to frozen solid.Deezer Shoove » 08 Nov 2023, 12:22 pm » wrote: ↑ How long has mankind been using a liquid for lubrication, fuel, raw material?
Electronics cannot conjure a replacement for that physical requirement.
In fact, sunlight and wind are direct causes for needing oil.
Those two (sun and wind) dry things out.
Whale oil is probably not making a comeback either.
ps
The earth is not dying. It's just getting ****. Doomsayers don't know anything.
Wanna feel better? Just gotta read all the scary books from 30-40 years ago.

We have been dead for decades apparently. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
So what "alternatives" do you plan to use to replace ALL the things OIL provides OTHER than energy???Monderegal » 08 Nov 2023, 1:05 pm » wrote: ↑ I don't that it's really a damning to say that we should transition from oil. If it can be done cheaply and environmentally, consider the alternatives.

Pssssst. There is NOTHING that can. PERIOD!!
So enjoy living in your PREHISTORIC WORLD where you hunt for your meals daily and built fires to stay warm!! You lose your pants, shirts, bra, panties, and oh yea, that COMPUTER you type on, it's GONE too....
Now, if you want to PROVE you can live without oil, then take 100% of ANYTHING YOU HAVE that relies on OIL to manufacture or make, and toss it in the DUMPSTER!! See how you like walking around NAKED and have NOTHING in your possession that can't be traced back to some petroleum product!!

Just so you know, when Kerosene was used to light homes in the 1800's, Rockefeller refined millions of barrels of it. One of the BYPRODUCTS of refining Kerosene is gasoline just to name one There was ZERO use for it at the time, so MILLIONS of barrels of gasoline were dumped.Monderegal » 08 Nov 2023, 8:03 pm » wrote: ↑ ALL?

I was going to suggest Buffalo and cattle chips as a source to cook gretas' eggs, but alas, the Buffalo are too few and here while the cattle are being culled because of flatulence.This represents only a fraction of Greta’s day, a day without microphones to exclaim into and a day without much food, and a day without carbon-fiber boats to sail in, but a day that will save the planet.

What has to be amusing is watching the dilemma of the Anti-Oil flock who are also Animal Rights activists who won't eat or wear animal products ---- trying to decide what sort of hypocrite they are going to be since without oil synthetic clothing & shoes are out of the **** question...

Now, to get PRODUCTS from oil, it is basically "distilled" to produce various compounds we use everyday to make all these "acceptable products" you claim you want. So if you advocate NOT using petroleum products for energy, what do you plan to do with the various components from refining oil into those "Other Products" you think is fine to use?? You know, the diesel fuel, gasoline, heating oil, etc.

If electric ever did "take over" then the price of gasoline would plummet due to lack of demand.walkingstick » 09 Nov 2023, 7:50 am » wrote: ↑ as electric cars take over. gas stations closing. look for $9.97 gas; if you can find a gas station open. by 2025 biden will close so many gas stations, that the price of gas will go to $12.98. and due to the demand for electricity, no electricity to cook, nor use your computer. electricity for vehicles only during daylight hours. biden incapable of managing wiping himself. then look at congress. usa is a has been. going down.
