Question: How are you gonna get your plastic and lubricants (or sex toys and vasoline) without an oil industry which drills holes in the earth?

Do post about what we are going to do about asphalt paving, trucks, farm and large construction equipment, heating oil...all huge consumers of oil. Obama is shooting for a reduction by 2030.

Oil is needed for plastics and lubricants. But it's much too scarce a resource possessed by way too noxious regimes in the world to depend on to run our autos.

What about diesel trucks, trains and Al Gore's jet not to mention the entire airline industry - we just need rubber band powered planes.
