Because you said that: >> Petroleum products are a requirement for modern life. > This is the most insidious and false lie that is spread. Even if all energies become renewables, maybe some oil based products are still requirement (but not a big problem). |

Modern life does not require that we get these end services from petroleum, it's just how we currently achieve the end goal.
Blurring this distinction between the way things are currently and what is possible is a very effective FUD technique. I want to be very clear that I'm not claiming the original poster meant to spread FUD, consciously or unconsciously, I don't know their mind. But it is definitely a persistent tactic among the fossil fuel propaganda that we are immersed in.
