It makes lipstick hold its shape and helps you apply this beauty product smoothly. - Perfumes and deodorants, contact lenses, fishing lures – you’re literally surrounded by common objects made from oil. - Normally, most countries have special reserves with enough oil to keep things running for at least a couple months. - You can safely assume that, from Day 1, oil and gas prices would literally skyrocket. - After several weeks (if not days), all private transport would stop running. Drivers who normally commute long distances would have problems getting to work. - One of the worst things about the absence of oil would be health risks for tons of hospital patients. The truth is that medicine relies on oil probably a bit too much nowadays. - Another serious problem would be connected with food supply, especially in big cities. - In the northern regions, people would start chopping down forests to get at least some source of energy and not freeze in the winter. - Oil is a serious source of pollution, and in the US alone, more than 9 million gallons of this stuff have spilled from pipelines since 2010. - With the absence of oil, you, as well as the environment, are likely to become a bit healthier. - There’s always nuclear power. In fact, nuclear power reactors are already pretty common in a lot of countries. - There's also wind and solar power. The supporters of using these alternatives are sure that they don't have any adverse effects on the environment.
