Additionally, Never Taught in school, unknown to the masses, ignored by the eastern elite, the unelected tenured bureaucrats, the Liberals and most politicians; —OIL, NATURAL GAS, and COAL, known broadly as hydrocarbons, provide the four pillars of modern civilization.
#1 Fertilizer nitrogen, NH3, as well as sulphur, without which 4.5 billion people would starve.
#2 Concrete; lack of which would mean no basements, large buildings, overpasses, bridges, airport runways and terminals, lane dividers on highways, ad infinitum. . .
#3 steel; no high-rise buildings, bridges, ships, highway transport trucks, cars, engines, wheels, brakes drums and on and on. . .
#4 plastic; medical tubing like IV bags, and the like, food packaging (prevents contamination such as botulism, salmonella etc) electronics, etc, etc, etc
With that, oil and natural gas provides fuel for transport, heat for homes, and electricity for lights.
Civilization is inexorably linked to hydrocarbons and what they provide. Again to reiterate: A fact ignored by education, mass media, LIBERALS, politicians in general, bureaucrats, and the general public.
Like the essay Paul.
