The true value for a gallon (4 Liters) of crude oil is arguably well in excess of $1,000,000 (Buckminster Fuller). To make oil, tiny organisms and organic detritus from before the time of dinosaurs have fallen and accumulated in the oceans. Storage, pressure, and heat then transform this sludge into what finally becomes crude oil. To make this short, all that time, space and energy required for this transformation is in fact incredibly valuable/expensive in todays terms. There is a misnomer that oil is not a renewable resource. It's actually in a constant state of renewal; it's just that it takes all these expensive dynamics to be in place, including multiple millennia of time. Think about what the true cost of oil really is. Both monetarily and in the destruction of a life-supporting earth. It is time to stop this insanity. All of us. ... --- ... 2025
