This is why most refining and plastics corporations are looking at recycling projects. It's obvious the community at large wants it and if you hurry to provide it you can boost sales until the other companies catch up.

Liberals want to Completely Shut Down Oil Drilling and Coal Mines. They are still dreaming about "Alternative Energy" that will Never Happen. It is a HOAX.

Sure - it makes better sense to save that oil for better purposes than burning inefficiently for transportation (heck, we get ~10-15% the potential energy of gasoline in the internal engine. Keep in mind, gasoline is a small, refined and energy-intensive component of oil)

Drill, or ride a bike and stop using products that require oil. Opps, forget that bike. Start walking.

Not only this, but to ship products from point A to B takes oil. Let's face it, oil is a major economic influence, and drilling for oil would make us wealthier; our economy would be stronger.
