This is just a partial list of products made from Petroleum (>6000 items). Leftists and environmental extremists want to roll back modern life, conveniences, products and amenities that you and I use every day. They want to send us back into the dark ages, back into the cave.
Although the major use of petroleum is as a fuel, (gasoline, jet fuel, heating oil), and petroleum and natural gas are often used to generate electricity, there are many other uses. One 42-gallon barrel of oil creates 19.4 gallons of gasoline. The rest (over 50%) is used to make thousands of other products, staples of modern-day life.
All plastic is made from petroleum and plastic is used almost everywhere: in cars,houses, toys, computers and clothing. Asphalt used in road construction is a petroleum product as is the synthetic rubber in the tires. Paraffin wax comes from petroleum, as do fertilizer, pesticides, herbicides, detergents, phonograph records, photographic film, furniture, packaging materials, surfboards, paints, and artificial fibers used in clothing, upholstery, and carpet backing.

The lesson to be learned — we should not be influenced by Left wing idealogues who dismiss facts, science and history. They are on an emotional jag, likely one that was brought on by rabid, leftist professors and teachers that were bent on brainwashing and indoctrinating our children for the last generation.
