Fossil Fuels: Evil or Necessity?

You never give it a second thought when you use many of these products, but these and much more are made from Oil and Natural Gas. I see people saying: "Get Rid of Fossil Fuels" but do they really know what they are saying? I am extremely proud to be in the O&G Industry and all of the hard working people I have come to know over the years. O&G provides us all with many benefits, and jobs.

So the next time someone is speaking and saying how evil Oil and Gas is and that we need to abolish it and turn to Green Power and all those great sounding words, remind them that when they brush their teeth in the morning - they can thank the fine folks working in O&G for that. So much that we use everyday without even thinking: "Where did this come from?"
