There’s a HURRICANE this weekend heading for Baja and Southern California. Folks, that is not in any way normal.
I may not live long enough to see the worst of the impacts of climate change, but I want to use my voice and platform today to urge action.
We can start by ending subsidies and investments into fossil fuels. Full stop.
I agree with you here, we need to invest in alternatives, education and R&D
Those who still cling on to fossil fuels should be seen as unemployable in the new way forward.
So in a sort of effort to figure out what we get from crude oil, I have now expanded my list and linked nearly all of these items to a Wikipedia page.

Hopefully from this, we see that we get quite a lot from crude oil, the questions now are :
1. What can we do without? If not, lets stop making / using it, or vastly reduce this need.
2. Can we make any of the products we need, without having to fall back on to Cruide Oil
3, Is the above sustainable, both financially and environmentally
4. If 3 is No, should we go back to 1.
5. Other considerations
If we are going to end our reliance on Crude oil the changes we are going to have to make, clearly go beyond fuel for cars, there is a whole range of products we get.
Hence the need for R&D and investment in STEM to solve these questions.
@zleap Was für ein Profilname...Klasse
@zleap I agree
