  • Without oil, you're naked, hungry, and homeless. How about every structure building materials are trucked, logged, water, sewer, power lines take oil to install and maintain. Roads are made with asphalt, petroleum, trucked and built by oil ran equipment.

    Hopefully, California will be soon an example of what not to do. 🙏

    I love how they held back on having the clothing disappear, since many of the fibers are artificial these days and even if those clothes are 100% natural materials, the equipment involved in their manufacture (not to mention shipping and storage) used oil products.

    Petroleum and affordable energy lifts societies from third work to first world.

    Without petroleum, fertilizer made from N2 would be very limited. Hence, not enough food for the population
  • @isoaxe
    This just make it sound like some modern conveniences would disappear. What would actually happen is transport and food production and supply chains would collapse if we stopped using oil tomorrow, likely ending in a famine and anarchy.

    So, there's actually people with common sense in California?
  • @FreePatriot13
    Yes, please, make a series of these videos highlighting EVERYTHING in our society that has its roots in oil. EVERYTHING, with particular emphasis on agriculture, food processing, trucking, trains, shipping and aircraft. It ain't all just about cars, y'know. (Yes, I know you do.) And don't forget clothing and medicines. Thank you in spades!
  • Well said. Finally, someone gives a great factual presentation to the public.
  • @Wayne-Jones
    What makes me laugh is these people protesting to stop oil are holding up banners made from oil products, not to mention their Shoes, Glasses, water bottles and many things.
  • Well done. Keep showing people how much we need oil and gas.
  • @johnbolt665
    It would set our living standard back a hundred years and the number of poor would make the great depression seem like nothing!
  • @DeanRamalho
    Most everything people use is made with a petroleum product. Well done Aera!
  • @BryanSparlin
    You would be standing out in a field with everyone completely naked. That's the crappifornia and the world's way.

    One of the things I've learned in life is not to throw things away until I have a suitable replacement.
  • In Canada producing an ad like this will land you in prison.
