Make it illegal, and relegate it to the black market.

It is a quasi-religious thing for them. They just BELIEVE.

And anything plastic. Think of all the products that are made from plastic.

Great infographic. Satisfied my curiosity about exactly what results from crude.

Surprised that Diesel fuel is so big.

Can those percentages be altered? Using different processing, can they make less gasoline and more of the other stuff from the same barrel?

There is some, limited ability to shift a few percent around. Example is less gasoline more diesel / heating oil in the winter. Shifting which intermediate streams are sent to chemical plants is another. However, more than that would generally require building new units and making very substantial changes.

Refineries are even limited to which crude oils it can run. That is because everything must be balanced. Shift from heavy crude oil to light crude oil as an example, would change the balance of intermediate streams and some units would be left with too little to process and others with too much to process. Therefore refineries are designed for certain kinds of crude oil, and a general mix of products.

Changing the input or changing the output means major capital investments.

It’s refined down enough that it is used in chocolate bars.

said, "why exactly does the left plan to eliminate fossil fuels?"

Because people call it "fossil fuels." It implies "peek-oil" when that is a myth and has been a myth when it was first used. The earth mantel is a giant gasifier.

Everything on that list of oil products can be made from any organic material. Wood, charcoal or anything organic.

3 extra gallons? By volume, or by weight?

If the left manage to ban fossil fuel they’ll have to light their bongs with matches.

At Astros games, there’s an oil and gas company that has an ad....

From popcorn to stadium seats, this game is brought to you by all things made with oil.

(Something to that effect. :)
