Here’s a scary fact, if we just stop crude oil rigs and refineries, here is what wi happen:

  1. There won’t be any gas for hot water services or gas stoves

  2. There will certainly not be cars on the road, also, no diesel means no logistics via truck

  3. No flights on planes (at least Tay-Tay won’t royally fuck the ozone)

  4. No heavy fuels for oil tankers and cargo ships, no trucks, flights or cargo ships is a complete disruption of supply chain and logistics!

  5. There will be no new roads or road maintenance! Because asphalt is made from oil!

  6. 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!

    “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.
