Food and clothing, any plastics, tires, furniture, auto parts, electronics casing, wire casing, smart phone cases, fertilizer, construction materials, etc.

Petroleum and Natural Gas are used to make almost every product in modern society. Even IF we all drove EVs we still need millions of barrels a day of petroleum to maintain our current existence.

The percentage of petroleum used for fuel is steadily decreasing. Especially as ICE have become so efficient. The HP now generated by a 4 cylinder turbo charged engine is comparable to what came out of a V8 at in the 1970s. The V6 Twin Turbo engines now produce 400 HP. This is much higher than 5 liter V8s used to put out. This has led to our automobiles using less fuel.

Look around you. Almost everything in your home, office, automobile is brought to you by either petroleum or Natural gas. Not just transported by, but components of it are made of these carbon products.
