Everyone knows about the oil depletion, but only talks about trouble we will have fueling cars. But I heard that oil help us do a lot of other things such as produce plastics and so on...and I was wondering what it was.

Answer 1

Making every plastic in existence plus pharmaceuticals.

Answer 2

Do U understand the water cycle???

Do U understand how plants recycles CO2 into O2????

Well the plant keeps the C which it uses for food. The C in the dead leaves wash down the rivers to the delta where it breaks down into oil & gas. We will never run out of fossil fuels.

Answer 3

Sulpher is removed from natural gas at least and probably oil too during processing.   It is used as a fertilizer for most commercial farmland.

Answer 4

Plastics, polymers, nylons, lubricants, jet fuel(kerosene), diesel, gasoline, naptha fuel, fertilizer, and even coffee whitener.

These are just a few of my favorite petroleum based things.
