We are now using about 100,000,000 barrels of crude oil every day. Most goes to making the transportation fuels of gasoline, diesel, kerosene, and fuel oil. We're going to need a LOT of batteries to replace that much oil energy. Early on, some gasoline was dumped on the ground and into waterways. Then the internal combustion engine came along, and changed the world. Imagine plowing with horses, oxen, or steam tractors. It wasn't that long ago when that was the norm everywhere.

[@rexremedy1733]

[@billsimpson604]

@@rickcoona I've been for nuclear power plants since 1964. If it were up to me, all power in the US would come from nuclear, with some hydro, where it was available and cost effective. To me, using natural gas to generate electricity is a crime, because it will be needed to make fertilizer, and the supply of gas on this planet is finite. As far as nuclear plutonium based bombs are concerned, we already have enough bombs to kill off just about everyone, so more plutonium won't change anything. Just reuse the reprocessed nuclear waste, then guard what is left forever. It isn't a radical concept anymore than keeping hospitals, police, schools, fire departments, railroads, the military, and many other things functioning is. Guarding nuclear waste forever would cost a tiny fraction of what any of those other things we must continue to do cost. Troops could be rotated to help guard the waste, under the supervision of nuclear professionals.

[@bloqk16]

Interesting that when this promotional film spoke of Ethyl, they left off the aspect of its heavy metal element being lead. I'm personally acquainted with those in the automotive repair professions, dating back to the 1960s, that suffered from health issues due to the accumulative effects of Ethyl lead exposures from their adult lives being auto mechanics; which many times also involved being a gasoline pump fuel attendant back in the days of full-service gas stations. One guy in particular was an engine oil change and lube specialist that got lead poisoning from the lead residue in the oil when he did the oil changes with bare hands for many years. The use, at times, of cleaning his oil/grease-caked hands with leaded gasoline, as a hand cleaning solvent, contributed to his lead poisoning.

[@UltraMagaFan]

Do you think they didn’t know ethyl had lead in it or do you think they didn’t want to be liable for the health problems it would cause? Me personally I think they didn’t want to be liable since one of the main goals of gasoline companies is to make as much money as possible.

What harm did all that tetraethyllead do to us? Hard to say--just depends upon the concentration and the luck of the draw. Maybe it didn't cause any harm, and maybe it lowered the collective IQ of the world, and especially the US, quite significantly. We'll just never know. One thing that was known however, at least to the gas companies, was that their wonderful additive caused reproductive and neurological harm because, you know...it was toxic lead.

My older brother being an auto mechanic for many years during the leaded gasoline era could have been a contributing factor to his mental sensibilities going awry in his later years.

[@magmajctaz1405]

I don't think we'll ever know the actual harm to the public lead had on the general populace. (I am sure we can all agree harm was done to mechanics.) What really made lead "go away" wasn't so much that it was banned, as much as it was bad for catalytic converters. Which were added to engines with computer controlled fuel metering. The lead accumulates and destroying the converter. Thus "unleaded" gasoline was required in these vehicles. Vehicles that required unleaded gasoline had a smaller fuel filler that accepted only the smaller diameter pump nozzles. I have two pre-catalytic converter vehicles that have the larger diameter opening. Additionally, back then, "regular" meant "leaded" and "unleaded" was self-explanatory. "Regular" today does not mean the same things it used to.

[@briane173]

The answer to your last question is: Social Media.

[@earlyriser8998]

There was a lack of realization and cost/ benefit analysis here too. We still see that every day. But cheap gasoline was viewed as more advantageous than some lead exposure. Scientists monitored nature, discovered the impact, and lead was reduced. This is still true today with the whole 'climate change' argument that trillions of dollars and the ruin of economies will somehow keep sea levels from rising or atmospheres from warming. But with no evidence that prior high temperature periods were permanent. In fact temperatures later reduced to ice ages!

@@volvo09 Volvo, Well written. The "Green Salvation" propaganda has been shoved down the throats of an entire generation here in the USA and Canada. For example, look closely at the mining, processing, chemicals, and sweatshop labor (in China) behind 95% of the solar photovoltaic panels sold in America.

Not so much back then. The crude oil economy was diversified and the wealth spread among literally thousands of independent oil producers, including wildcatters. Just like the family farm, the independents have all been bought out and there are now only five corporations left producing, refining, and selling oil here -- and are all taking subsidies from the Federal Govt. Who do you suppose is responsible for _THAT_ unholy alliance?

[@jacksons1010]

@@cra4war "We aren't going to run out" in our lifetimes, true. But I'd hope we can agree that there is a finite amount of economically recoverable oil in the ground. We've already resorted to deep water offshore, fracking tight oil and processing oil sands to maintain productions levels. Eventually the cost of doing these things won't make economic sense, even though there will still be oil to be found.

[@cra4war]

@@jacksons1010 The earth literally makes it, it might take time ,but if you look into it, it’s probably not going to happen, in our lifetimes definitely not. I have theory it’s all a bi product of the core, but It’s just a theory. The only reason “they” made it a finite resource is too make money.

Sounds like they quadruple boil/vaporize..."atomize" a heavy oil....to get a light fluid...then boil them further to get weird bonds they dont even really care about, except that theyre a little larger molecules...then they add chemicals..."beads"..."powders" ....Another video says it's aluminum and some other abundant stuff. Seems a little like busy work. Just add the chemicals to lighter oils. Add thickeners when you want thick oils.
