Everything is made out of plastic, and plastic is made out of oil.
- seren 12y agoPlus our agriculture in the first world is heavily dependent on fertilizers, that are mostly oil based. We are eating oil by gallons.
- jjoonathan 12y agoFertilizer is oil based? I thought plants got almost all of their carbon from the air. Are you talking about the hydrogen feeding into the Haber process? Because most of that comes from gas-shifted water and IIRC the energy and carbon for gas-shifting water comes from natural gas. The nitrogen itself comes from air, of course.
- seren 12y agoApparently, I was wrong, thanks for pointing it out, it seems to be actually natural gas dependent.
