Exxon Refinery In Norway Closes Down



Agelbert COMMENT: EVs will destroy the hydrocarbon "Industry" because of the not so secret fact that all the other "products" that come out of a refinery do not amount to a hill of beans in profit. Pharmaceuticals, fertilizers, plastics, synthetic rubber chemicals and lubricants are insignificant compared to fuels. Just look up how a "barrel of crude" is broken down in output. 

They can't go back to the days of Rockefeller (before car fuels) in the 19th century when he would poison horses and cows downstream of his refinery by dumping "non-lubricant waste products" (i.e. benzene and other carcinogenic hydrocarbon crap) in the nearby river.

ALL those "lighter products" coming out of the cracking towers ARE HAZARDOUS WASTE. The hydrocarbon industry has NO PLAN WHATSOEVER to fund the proper handling and disposal of these toxic refinery products, as we all have observed by their habit of flaring any "incovenient" hydrocarbons at all fracking sites and all refineries.

They just DO NOT CARE what we-the-people are assaulted with. They never have and never will. 

No 🦖 fuel sales, no 💰 profitable hydrocarbon industry "business model", PERIOD.

The sooner these crooks and liars go bankrupt, the better for all of us, including even them!
