I noticed a jar of Vaseline on the bathroom counter this morning and it got me thinking... before coffee.
Joe Biden and the left want to do away with the fossil fuel industry; do away with oil production altogether.
There are around 6,000 consumer products in the United States that are manufactured using petroleum products. Don't believe me? It's easily researched. Below is listed just a small portion of them. All of you use at least some of them every day. Are you willing to give them all up?

Even electric cars have parts (plastic, tires, etc) that are made with petroleum. And what kind of fuel is used to power the machines that mine the elements for electric car batteries? You guessed it.
We can't do away with oil and petroleum products until we figure out how to power the world and manufacture products without it. And we're nowhere near that yet.
