Stuff Made of Oil

p.s. did some research myself and found the same article you refer to.

Also found information that another 3-4% of all oil consumption is for the manufacturing of plastics, the 4% figure referes to the amount of oil used as a feedstock for plastics.
So, that's a fair proportion - 7-8% in total. Clearly, transport and heating are the main users though.

How did we get to be arguing, ahem, debating about this again??!! Laughing

Condoms take oil to make. Best stock up now.

Maybe we'll just discover what I've been saying all along, recreational sex just ain't worth all the trouble. Don't need a condom when you're doin' it with ol' righty Laughing

I'm starting to think AID's and other STD's would spread like crazy once we don't have any condoms. Just a thought, it may help with the world population.

hmmm, condoms only have a shelf live of two years, so you might have a hard time selling them down the road Wink

but on the STD and AIDS side, I am not sure they would go through the roof after the peak, because you will not be able to get around anymore like one used to.

Yaow. A strong pitch from left field. A red letter day for the New Romans, without a doubt.

As long as we're throwing balls that far, do you think this sums up the hairless chimp brigade in the New American Century: ??

Five Characters In Search Of An Exit

We're not at the Peak of anything, really; as a matter of fact, we're all in the dregs!! Laughing

Heh, it would almost be more appropriate to have made this thread:

"Stuff not made from Oil"

Like paper, glass, metal and umm wool and uhhh cotton and you know .... stuff.

Aha! another one: Food. Oh hang on a sec most food is made from oil. Hmm what about water, yup oil/gas is needed for water, clean water at least.

Y'know what? We're screwed, at least our affluent lifestyle is screwed and a large proportion of the world's population is terminally screwed.

Yes I know I know, I'm being optimistic.

In the June 2004 issue of National Geographic, there is a photo of all the things in a home that come from petroleum products. For the shot, they emptied a suburban home onto the front lawn.
