The Western Energy Alliance is inviting all Americans to take its "Fossil Fuel Free Challenge" to "see if they can go just one week without using products made from oil and natural gas." An educational video the group published years ago is still relevant today, emphasizing the need for public awareness about how fossil fuels make possible nearly every aspect of most peoples' lives.
Petroleum Products
- Products derived from petroleum include transportation fuels, fuel oils for heating and electricity generation, asphalt and road oil, and components for making the chemicals, plastics, and synthetic materials that are used in nearly all products on the market.
Commercial and residential products like paint and paint brushes, floor wax, safety glasses, linoleum, caulking, roofing, curtains, fertilizer, mops, rugs, toilet seats, pillows, upholstery, refrigerators, dishwasher parts, are all made from petroleum
- so are health-related products like rubbing alcohol, aspirin, medicine, heart valves, medical devices, bandages, anesthetics, surgical masks, dentures, antiseptics, hand sanitizers, antihistamines, cortisone, and artificial limbs.
The Biden administration's plan to tax and increase fees on the oil and natural gas industry will only cause the cost of household products to go up
- Stopping the flow of oil would bring nearly every aspect of society, on a global scale, to a halt, those in the industry argue
- Fossil fuels make our lives healthier and cleaner and a better place to live
- The U.S. has reduced carbon dioxide emissions more than Germany's $80 billion government funded Energiewende project, China's $37 billion Three Gorges Dam-project, the world's largest hydroelectric power plant, and Brazil's hydropower projects, combined, all of which were funded by the US
