“Yes the oil industry has given the world thousands of disasters…”
and if no oil industry? We’d have a billion horses pooping in the streets of the cities - with a million folks employed to nightly remove a billion pounds of horse poop. Horrible stench. Disease, Flies. When it rains, rivers and bays polluted beyond belief.
without oil, we’d be living an 1880s lifestyle. Burning trillions of pounds of coal to generate electricity to run the lights and motors of industry.
Oh, you might have an around town car run off lead acid battery with 25 mile type range. On dirt roads. (cobble stones in the immediate down town).
The population of the world would have been limited …farm yields 90% less than today.
Only long distance transport - coal fired trains.
Barges on rivers. Sailing ships and ships run on coal.
No thanks.
Cities would be so polluted, life spans would be less than those in the 1800s.
