Importance of Fossil Fuels


Imagine your life without fossil fuels!
Without it, the industrial revolution would not have happened
ExxonMobil alone brings in over 300 billion dollars a year in revenue and employs almost eighty thousand people. It routinely sets records for largest quarterly profits.
Oil companies and fossil fuel refineries play a huge role in our national economic growth.
Your Transportation?
Vehicles need fuels to move.They are built into every layer of our transportation system.Even building cars that use alternate energy sources still requires fossil fuels.


Food?
Most of the food in your grocery store uses vehicles to deliver the food back around the country. Our society is laid out depends on the ability to ship goods quickly over long distances.Enable production and manufacturing of food machineries to work 


Think of everything that has plastic in your life?
Oil is a critical component to plastic. Without access to cheap, strong and widely available plastics, our world would be a very different place than it is now. We rely on plastics for just about everything, from modern medicine to cooking and eating food. Without plastics, we would never have been able to build small, inexpensive computers, which would, of course, mean no Internet.

Moreover, the convenience of our modern daily lives would be non-existence.

                                                 We consume it! Grow up with it! 
                   Fossil Fuels are EVERYTHING in our LIFE including you and me!
