Here’s a scary fact, if we just stop crude oil rigs and refineries, here is what wi happen:
-
There won’t be any gas for hot water services or gas stoves
-
There will certainly not be cars on the road, also, no diesel means no logistics via truck
-
No flights on planes (at least Tay-Tay won’t royally fuck the ozone)
-
No heavy fuels for oil tankers and cargo ships, no trucks, flights or cargo ships is a complete disruption of supply chain and logistics!
-
There will be no new roads or road maintenance! Because asphalt is made from oil!
-
No fuel for oil lamps and stuff, and there won’t be any wax or plastic or car tires…
A whole economical collapse will follow the decision to just stop oil.
So, next time you think “we need to stop oil refining” also think of the cons associated with it, because it may bring the systematic collapse of the economy, and in turn, society as a whole!
Hope you found this interesting!
Shut up nerd
Cute, can’t attack the subject so you resort to attacking the person.
That, my friend, is what’s known as sophistry.
Comeback sucks, stick to advocating for microplastics in everyone’s balls
Your list is absolute horseshit right from the start.
Fuck off
When was this written, in the 1980’s?
so oilbrained that you included “no fuel to run the oiltankers” as a downside to not producing oil
I don’t think the just stop oil people are advocating a sudden immediate and 100% stopping of oil use…
Rather an aggressive elimination of our reliance on oil.
I guess Exxon and BP execs have Lemmy socks now. Death to the settler empire.
Is this a bit? It’s so incredibly stupid that you would think anyone would just turn the oil off rather than transition to clean energy. They even call the process Green Transition
those are all good things you dork
“Ah but you see, we have been made dependent on oil!” Yeah dude, that’s the whole point, that’s why people are roasting to death in the thousands under heat domes right now for the wealth of a few petroleum corporations. This is on the level of “Don’t you realize that if we destroy capitalism, nobody will be able to pay rent??” Just a missing of the point so total and comprehensive that it would actually make me less annoyed if it was on purpose.
What happens to the woke agenda if we stop oil? Surely the libs get owned?
Nice goalpost move/strawman. Where did op mention “woke”?
Guess someone’s living rent free in your head.
In their post history.
And you can’t move goalposts if you never place any, but way to just throw around jargon for no reason.
There is absolutely no car that runs on anything other than oil. NONE 🙄
Plastics. That’s likely the biggest impact most people are unaware of.
Given people who care about the environment want to drastically reduce plastic usage anyway, seems like a win-win.
Thanks, Petro Bot 9001!
The point is to stop expanding oil exploitation and refinement, and gradually reduce our dependency on the existing refining capabilities. But sure, your strawman of stopping all refining at once sounds pretty bad, almost as bad as unchecked climate change…
