Winter is about done. Nobody is going to freeze their ass off too bad
Oil is required in the manufacturing process of pretty much everything you touch.
I am not denying that, it's just the coldest part of the year in Europe has passed
I understand. It just amazes me how many people don't understand how important oil really is and only equate it with fuel and heating.
That it is used does not mean it is required. Plastics can be manufactured directly from plants.
How about the machine that makes the plant plastic? You can't just will a plant to become plastic. You need oil in the operation of that machine. Just because the final product doesn't require oil doesn't mean you don't need oil to make it. But we're getting into the weeds. My entire point is most folks have no idea just how much of their daily lives absolutely depends on oil in some fashion.
