What are positive ways we can use oil? if you were a CEO of some oil companies and environmentalists were angry at you for promoting oil, what could you say to them in response?

Best Answer

What is the fuel of choice for ambulances? Horse oats?

How much plastic is used in the medical field in order to keep others living? Even the pill keepers and bongs for the dopers are made of plastic?

How many of them rode in a bus, car, or moped to the protest? Or did they walk. How many of them walked naked and barefoot? Chances are their clothing was shipped to the store via truck.

How many of them turn on their lights or computers (many power plants are fueled by clean burning natural gas).

How many of their grandma%26#039;s use heating oil to keep warm in the winter? Are you content letting grammy freeze to death?

How many of them own a computer with plastic parts in it? Without oil, there would be no plastic? Kind of hard to print those protest posters without a printer, ink, or other computer part.

Do they like paint? Without petro-chemical byproducts, there would be no paint. Homes would rot because they were not properly sealed?

How about shingles on a roof? They have an asphalt coating in them.

Oil in today%26#039;s society is unavoidable and those that criticize big oil should pound it up their rears. Morons - if you hate big oil so much, sit in your fabric tent in the woods and live off the land until you get malaria. Then see how fast you change your tunes (I need a shot, can you overnight it to me via helicopter?)

• I would tell them to get together a comprehensive list of all that we use oil for and all we get from oil.
  Then get a list of all we could use to replace oil, in each and every case.
  Are you ready to live without those things? If so, then start tomorrow, and let us know how you are doing. Oh, and by the way, you can not let us all know on the computer.
• We need to use oil to build out our renewable resource. If we this this right, we can get off imported oil over the next 10 years and let the rest of the world fight over what is left as gas goes to$30 per gallon.
• to not use it is the best way to save it
• I would say that they don%26#039;t have to use our oil but that many people do and we are providing them with what they want.
• Well, to answer the original question, there is no positive use for oil. To answer your question listed in the details, I would find the environmentalists I could trust and let them know that I%26#039;m not what they think and if they%26#039;re serious about taking out oil companies, I can help them do it from the inside.
• Use all of it for Vinyl production and press a lot of fantastic tunes on it! No better use for oil than music.
