Fossil fuels are essential for us
The political rush to cut out fossil fuels and force us all to buy electric cars is a recipe for disaster. By-products from oil refineries are more vital than diesel and petroleum.
Benzene is a raw material for dyes and synthetic detergents, Benzene and toluene are used in making.polyurethenes and xylenes to produce plastics and synthetic fibers. Butadiene, an elastomer is used in making synthetic rubber. Nylon, teflon polystyrene.Polyvinyl chloride(PVC)Global ethylene production was 190 million tonnes and propylene was 120 million tonnes in 2019.
About 32-million tonnes of rubbers are produced annually in the United States, and of that amount two thirds are synthetic, total world demand is over70 million tonnes. Without synthetic rubber, electric cars will have no tyres and any ban on plastic production will eliminate many automotive components as well as the majority of office and household items and building products. instead of chasing an illusion about electric cars, politicians would do better to convice people to use less of everything and stop frequent travelling!
