Energy literacy - understanding crude oil's vital role

By Ronald Stein - posted Wednesday, 12 February 2025


In addition, crude oil is the basis of the various transportation fuels in our materialistic society that did not exist before the 1800's, now being used in infrastructures like: transportation, airports, pleasure aircraft and boats, space programs, and militaries.

Before the 1800's, and before the discovery of oil, the world had NO crude oil, and obviously NO products or transportation fuels, and NO electricity and NO Tesla's!! Before the 1800's, Life was hard and short.

Renewables, like wind and solar, only exist to generate occasional electricity. Since these so-called renewables, CANNOT manufacture any of the more than 6,000 products AND the various transportation fuels made from fossil fuels for vehicles, planes and ships, that are demanded by the infrastructures of today, the same infrastructures that did not exist 200 years ago, thus it's a great time to use President Trump's executive orders on the subject of energy, to stimulate conversations to enhance everyone's energy literacy.
