\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">America is aggressively pursuing \u201cgreen\u201d electricity and actively phasing out crude oil to reduce emissions generated in America by deliberately increasing worldwide exploitations of humanity, environmental degradation, and increased emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">California Governor Gavin Newsom, President Joe&nbsp;Biden,&nbsp;and world leaders&nbsp;are&nbsp;not&nbsp;cognizant&nbsp;enough to know&nbsp;that&nbsp;wind turbines and solar panels&nbsp;only&nbsp;generate occasional&nbsp;electricity and cannot

manufactured from crude oil, phasing out oil would also phase out the medical, military, transportation, communications, and electrical power industries, none of which existed before the 1800s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Climate change may impact millions, but without fossil fuels and the infrastructures and products we have today that did not exist before the 1800s, we may lose billions from diseases, malnutrition, and weather-related deaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eradicating the world of crude oil usage would ground the&nbsp;<a

oil, the 8 billion on this planet will face the greatest threat to humanity without jets, merchant ships, and space programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">America\u2019s climate policies being introduced are particularly harmful to developing countries. America is probably the most environmentally controlled country in the world, but by deliberately relying on poorer developing countries for our fuels and products, we are \u201cleaking\u201d to other countries:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Leakage of emissions to countries with minuscule environmental laws.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leakage of the exploitations of people with yellow, brown, and black skin to counties with minuscule labor laws.r<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leakage of environmental degradation to landscapes in developing countries where there are minuscule environmental laws.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the aftermath of the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/1973_oil_crisis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>1973 oil crisis<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;in 1977, the Department of Energy was established to&nbsp;<strong><em>lessen<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;our dependence on foreign oil,&nbsp;but today, with its 14,000 employees and a 48 billion dollar budget, the D.O.E. continues to remain dead silent and has allowed California, the fourth-largest economy in the world to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.energy.ca.gov\/data-reports\/energy-almanac\/californias-petroleum-market\/oil-supply-sources-california-refineries\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>increase imported crude oil from 5 percent in 1992 to almost 60 percent today of total consumption<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">California is home to 9 International airports, 41 Military airports, and 3 of the largest shipping ports in America.&nbsp;California\u2019s growing dependency on other nations&nbsp;is a serious national security risk for America!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China\u2019s Xi Jinping and Russia\u2019s Vladimir Putin are great war historians.&nbsp;As&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfact.org\/2023\/04\/06\/energy-chinks-in-americas-armor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>World War I and II historians, Russia, China, and OPEC know, the country that controls the minerals, crude oil, and natural gas controls the world!<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;It\u2019s shocking that of all the Generals who report to President Biden (Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Space Program), NONE have asked the President how we will run our military ships, planes, vehicles, and supply products to our troops WITHOUT oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a no-brainer that an attack on the ports at San Francisco, Los Angeles, or Long Beach could paralyze the American economy, causing huge reductions in fuels for California\u2019s in-state infrastructures and stagnating the supply chain of products for the entire country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, California continues to constantly reduce its in-state refining capacity, which refines fuels and petrochemicals for society\u2019s materialistic demands, and continues to grow its dependency on foreign oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few notes about ELECTRICITY:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Everything that needs electricity, such as the basic light bulb, computers, iPhones and iPads, televisions, washing machines, and X-ray equipment, is made with oil derivatives manufactured from crude oil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Every method of generating electricity, such as wind turbines, solar panels, hydroelectric, nuclear, coal, and natural gas power plants, exists only because the parts and components of the generation system are made with crude oil derivatives.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Renewables, like wind turbines and solar panels, only generate occasional electricity from inconsistent breezes and sunshine but manufacture no products for society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fossil fuels, on the other hand, manufacture everything for the 8 billion living on this planet, i.e., products and transportation fuels.<\/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\">Most importantly, today, there is a lost reality that the primary usage of crude oil is NOT for generating electricity but to manufacture derivatives and fuels, which are the ingredients of everything needed by economies and lifestyles to exist and prosper.&nbsp;Energy realism requires that the legislators, policymakers, and media that demonstrate pervasive ignorance about crude oil usage understand the staggering scale of the decarbonization movement.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ruling class and powerful elite have yet to identify the replacement for the oil derivatives that are the basis of more than&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/pulse\/partial-list-over-6000-products-made-from-one-barrel-oil-steve-pryor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>6,000 products<\/strong><\/a>and all the fuels for the merchant ships, aircraft, military, and space programs that support the 8 billion living on this planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The American government provides incentives and tax deductions to transition society to EVs, but those incentives are financial incentives for the continuation of Child Labor and Ecological Destruction \u201cElsewhere.\u201d Is it ethical and moral to provide financial support to developing countries that are mining for exotic minerals and metals to build EV batteries for Americans?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ve become a very materialistic society&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ourworldindata.org\/population-growth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>over the last 200 years, and the world has populated from 1 to 8 billion<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;because of all the products and different fuels for planes, ships, trucks, cars, military, and the space program that did not exist before the 1800s. Until a crude oil replacement is identified, the world needs a backup plan that replaces crude oil that will support the manufacturing of the products of our materialistic society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.americaoutloud.news\/todays-materialistic-world-cannot-survive-without-crude-oil\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Today\u2019s materialistic world cannot survive without crude oil!<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;<em>Conversations are needed to discuss the difference between just ELECTRICITY\u201d from renewables and the \u201cPRODUCTS\u201d that are the basis of society\u2019s materialistic world.&nbsp;<\/em>Wind turbines and solar panels are themselves MADE from oil derivatives and only generate occasional electricity but manufacture NOTHING for society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How dare the ruling class, powerful elite, and media avoid energy literacy conversations about the \u201cElephant in the Room\u201d?&nbsp;
