Yep,

But the vast, vast majority of whale oil was burned in lamps.

We don't do that anymore as we moved to more efficient ways for lighting that doesn't pollute the environment.

LED's

Great whale’s poop has high iron and other nutrient content, which encourages phytoplankton growth. Herring and other bait fish feed on phytoplankton. Herring stocks flourish when there are lots of whales. Predator fish such as salmon, bluefin tuna etc also thrive… the fishing industry benefits too. Whales are good to have around, not to senselessly slaughter for their blubber.

Lubricants as a rule aren’t corrosive
