Should we just stop oil? Well, let’s look at what happens if we do! (lemm.ee)

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!

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...
