> I wish people would stop acting like the world is fine aside from gasoline. The reason why is there an (appropriate in my opinion) focus on gasoline and other crude-oil products is that other commodities and services relies on this commodity. We're not yet in a state where we can use other resources as substitute for it (either because green energy is not that scaled-up or because crude oil directly contains what is needed - for example fertilizers and plastics).
