(2) Are widely used in healthcare as feedstock for pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, and plastic medical supplies. (3) These are the key ingredients for construction materials, from d\u00e9cor to kitchen necessities. (4) The basis of tires and asphalt used in transportation infrastructures. (5) Also provide the fuels to move the heavy-weight and long-range needs of jets, moving people and products, merchant ships for global trade flows, and military and space programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those policymakers only focus on \u201cjust weather\u201d dependent electricity generated from wind turbines and solar panels, i.e., \u201cgreen electricity\u201d that only exists because of government subsidies. They fail to understand that it\u2019s the PRODUCTS that run this world, not just electricity. They also fail to comprehend that wind turbines and solar panels CANNOT make any products needed to support humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not being able to comprehend simple engineering principles, they fail to understand that all the components needed to make wind turbines and solar panels are made from petrochemicals manufactured from crude oil, the same crude oil that they want to rid the world of!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By 2035, most of today\u2019s elected government officials and policymakers will be termed out of office and either be retired or deceased, leaving their policies for today\u2019s teenagers and grade school kids to pay for the implementation of those dictates from today\u2019s \u201cleaders\u201d in wealthy country dictates!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The other 90+ percent of the world\u2019s developing countries continue with unabated emissions for their dismal economies!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today\u2019s policy advisers, policymakers, and the news media, also primarily NOT trained in engineering, constantly refer to all climate changes being caused by humanity, but they never identify where most of that emission-generating humanity is located!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The healthy and wealthy countries of Germany, Australia, Great Britain, New Zealand, Canada, Japan, all the EU, and the USA, representing about one of the eight billion of the world\u2019s population, could literally shut down and cease to exist, and the opposite of what the media tells us and believes will take place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emissions will be exploding from those poorer developing countries, i.e., the other seven billion on this planet. Unlike the wealthy countries that have huge economies that can subsidize any delusionally obsessed idea, these poorer countries\u2019 dismal economies cannot subsidize themselves out of a paper bag!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Simply put, in these healthy and wealthy countries, every person, animal, or anything that causes emissions to harmfully rise could vanish off the face of the earth or even die off. Global emissions will still explode in the coming years and decades ahead over the population and economic growth of India, Nigeria, China, Pakistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Indonesia, Ethiopia, Egypt, and Tanzania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When Thomas Edison and his researchers at Menlo Park came onto the lighting scene, they focused on improving the filament \u2014 first testing carbon, then platinum, before finally returning to a carbon filament. By October 1879, Edison\u2019s team had produced a light bulb with a carbonized filament of uncoated cotton thread that could last for 14.5 hours. They continued to experiment with the filament until settling on one made from bamboo that gave Edison\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ieeeghn.org\/wiki\/index.php\/Early_Light_Bulbs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lamps a lifetime of up to 1,200 hours<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thomas Edison (1847-1931)&nbsp;is widely credited as the inventor of the&nbsp;incandescent light bulb, but the more accurate telling is that he&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgeographic.co.uk\/history-and-civilisation\/2022\/04\/thomas-edison-didnt-invent-the-light-bulb-but-heres-what-he-did-do\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">improved on a technology<\/a>&nbsp;that already existed. Many of Edison\u2019s 1,093 patents were the product of teamwork, with a large team of researchers working out of his laboratory in Menlo Park, New Jersey. Their research also played a key role in the development of sound recording and motion picture technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of his most significant achievements was opening the first power plant in New York City in 1882, the Pearl Street Station. He also installed the first electric streetlights in Roselle, New Jersey, marking the beginning of the end of gas lighting in American cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eventually, Edison\u2019s companies evolved into the&nbsp;General Electric&nbsp;brand, which is known for its washing machines,&nbsp;refrigerators, and&nbsp;electric&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/justenergy.com\/blog\/types-light-bulbs-history-buying-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">light bulbs<\/a>, which all&nbsp;utilize parts and components made from crude oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking back at the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/History_of_the_petroleum_industry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">history of the petroleum industry<\/a>,&nbsp;it illustrates that the black cruddy looking&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/context.capp.ca\/energy-matters\/2020\/og-101-heavy-oil\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">crude oil was virtually useless<\/a>&nbsp;unless it could be&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/energyexplained\/oil-and-petroleum-products\/refining-crude-oil-the-refining-process.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">manufactured (refineries) into oil derivatives<\/a>&nbsp;that are now the basis of chemical products, such as plastics, solvents, and medications,&nbsp;that are essential for supporting modern lifestyles.
