[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 3865880, member: 18225"] In a way, you’re arguing against yourself. Oil is finite, so we should think strategically about how best to use it. Anything that involves plastics involves petroleum, seems to me we should ration it instead of wasting it because we enjoy subsidizing Big Oil. Just take one example, the healthcare system. Maybe we should save some oil to make needles and IV bags and and and... You know what? Screw it, let’s forget about developing new technologies that could provide a template for a new economy that’s not based on oil, which would provide thousands of jobs and keep us on the cutting edge!!!! Killer plan. Meanwhile, China is eating our lunch on solar and wind tech because somehow we just can’t get our heads out of Exxons’ intestines. FFS, hemp might finally become legal here in the States... (We’ve been importing billions in industrial hemp from Canada for years...their heads aren’t so far up someone else’s :censored:...it’s ridiculous) [/QUOTE]
