like
-> cloth but it isn't... either way, we have the oil industry to thank for the
-> mess...

Fortunately Mark,

The stuff that makes cloth, dishwashing detergent and etc from the oil
are byproducts of gasoline production that otherwise would have been
wasted.

I don't think the oil industry is as bad as they claim it is, there are
other industries that pollute more.  If the petroleum is properly
refined and cleaned it can be used safely.

Like the coal industry they have "scrubbers" that remove all the carbon
from the smoke in the electric plants.  It is a solid that can be
repurposed to other industries after removal.  What makes coal bad is
that India and China buy a bunch of Kentucky coal, but I doubt very
seriously that it is burned in a clean manner.
