We can use it for medicines, specialist plastics, and as a source of many molecules for use in chemical and biological compounds. Instead we burn the stuff as if we can't get rid of it fast enough. Almost as if it was a nuisance. Oil is a miracle. Composed of compressed organic matter (much of it primordial plankton) it has taken tens of millions of years to form. And we are going to use it up within 200 years. :badpc: Not to worry 001,we will have nuclear driven vehicles by then. :) |
