End of Oil & Gas THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT Within Reach

Just a few decades away in my estimation.

Ancestor of mine. He had a dairy cow and used the buggy to deliver milk.

She cannot not know that "the end of oil and gas" is a black-and-white recipe for national disaster.

How does she live with herself, telling such a lie?

The best thing that the world can do is to practice conservation. It is a finite resource. We burn it faster than it is behind created.

FReeper Liz posted this yesterday for a few more allegedly useful items from the well:

“A partial list of products made from Petroleum (144 of 6000 items)

This list came from a print publication in 1974. In fact, since 1974 there have been hundreds of additional items replaced with plastic duplicates, medical syringes for example. So should you wish to find the complete list of products made from petroleum you will most likely have to compose it yourself.

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”

It is a finite resource. We burn it faster than it is behind created.

Leftist doctrine of fear used to enslave the world.

The truth is God made this world RICH with resources meant to sustain man for eternity.

It's the truth of Biblical faith vs. the lies of the satanic Left.

Okay. I’m sure there is an updated list but haven’t gone hunting for it yet.

Hallelujah! We are almost there! No more oil and gas and coal etc.! and concomitant great reduction in population through therapeutic starvation and subsistence economy for those who remain but the elite who think they can remain elite in a world without other people.

The combination of Yellen, Granholm, & Newsom could spell doom for us before lack of earth’s natural resources ever does.
