Products Based On Refined Oil

In our current economy there is hardly a place where one will not find a product that is a result of oil. Direct (e.g. fuel) or indirect (e.g. medicine) created from crude oil.

Even though more and more scientists are speaking about the end of cheap oil, the amount of products that are based on this oil, is still increasing.

Famous quotes containing the words products, based, refined and/or oil:

    “The reality is that zero defects in products plus zero pollution plus zero risk on the job is equivalent to maximum growth of government plus zero economic growth plus runaway inflation.”
    —Dixie Lee Ray (b. 1924)

    “Few white citizens are acquainted with blacks other than those projected by the media and the so—called educational system, which is nothing more than a system of rewards and punishments based upon one’s ability to pledge loyalty oaths to Anglo culture. The media and the “educational system” are the prime sources of racism in the United States.”
    —Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)

    “And who, in time, knows whither we may vent
    The treasure of our tongue, to what strange shores
    This gain of our best glory shall be sent,
    T’enrich unknowing nations with our stores?
    What worlds in th’yet unformed Occident
    May come refined with th’accents that are ours?”
    —Samuel Daniel (c.1562–1619)

    “Oh Gull of my childhood,
    cry over my window over and over, take me back,
    oh harbors of oil and cunners, teach me to laugh
    and cry again that way that was the good bargain
    of youth....”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
