A partial list of products made from Petroleum (144 of 6000 items)
(A note to readers: This list came from a print publication in 1974. We failed to identify the source document and have been unable to find a list of the “6,000 items” since. In fact, since 1974 there have been hundreds of additional items replaced with plastic duplicates, medical syringes for example. So should you wish to find the complete list of products made from petroleum you will most likely have to compose it yourself.)
One 42-gallon barrel of oil creates 19.4 gallons of gasoline. The rest (over half) is used to make things like:

This is a frigging long list of items and it is incomplete... SO, it is going to be impossible for us to eliminate the use of Petroleum Cruse Oil and replace it with GREEN ENERGY... Those who think we can have their heads up their virtual green asses...
