“Pretty soon we will be going back to whale oil for light.”

Nah whale oil was for the rich back in the day. Poor’s used lard,tallow or seed oils. Beeswax was also only for the rich. You serfs will be back to the fat of the land. Which is how that expression came to be. People raised their own animals for meat and used the fats for lighting. Ethanol was also a big fuel in the pioneer days for indoor lighting again before the Gmen outlawed its production.
