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!

When was this written, in the 1980's?

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.

Your list is absolute horseshit right from the start.

There is absolutely no car that runs on anything other than oil. NONE 🙄

Thank you for taking 30 seconds out of your day to research and write that list.

for a studied and nuanced take on this subject which addresses the fact that everything in the first world ultimately runs on oil i recommend: https://thehonestsorcerer.medium.com/collapse-too-might-come-sooner-than-expected-eb3f16e8542d

Plastics. That's likely the biggest impact most people are unaware of.
