Henry Ford had most the interior of a car made out of hemp in late 30s you can make things like plastic without oil.Once we relied on whale oil for many things we over came the need for it though.

Depends how you look at it.
Look at it for the positive aspects it shows for the way out off planet far fringe of the raving loonies......in comparison he makes Alex Jones look like a sane and rational person with good points and a coherent arguement.

Yes you are right plastics should probably be made from oil but this does not mean that electricity/propulsion should be made by it...

Reducing oil and energy consumption does not mean going back to the middle ages...(Though it might indeed reduce our standard of living somewhat(new iphone every 5 years instead of 3)).

@yubba: That greener energy thing is not about completely disbanding use of oil - only about stopping burning of it. If there is viable alternative available then burning oil is waste of resources. That is primary reason why I support research on greener energy sources. Also greener energy is not only about windmills (which are nice but not suitable for replacement of oil) but I'm sure you already knew this.

Btw that "greener" sounds terrible I personally prefer "renewable".

EDIT: Also yubba I agree with some of your opininons and disagree with most. However could you please consider HOW you present you opinion? You often sound like a person who escaped from loony bin - that is not good for credibility.
