The problem is that the reason oil is able to be used in all these other things is that the fuel side of oil more than pays for the investment in getting the stuff out of the ground and developing the plastics and whatnot from the rest of it.

Without the fuel side, the rest of it skyrockets in price, because a great deal of what we use as fuel is 'waste' product from the other stuff.

And that would be proof that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Almost half a barrel of crude oil is refined into gasoline. What you idiots don't understand is that we wouldn't COMPLETELY do away with using gasoline. We would just cut back prob 80% or more from using it in mainstream auto's. Using gasoline as a main resource for transportation is a stupid idea considering we have the technology and means to run off of hydro-electric power.

Like I said earlier, and I'll say it again, the investors are so tied up in oil that it would take a miracle to switch over. Make no mistake, IT CAN BE DONE.
