thinking of how many of the consumer products around me are made from petroleum derivatives (such as the parts in the laptop on which i write this) and wondering if all of those organic chemists and chemists in general will be able to replace them in the next 30 to forty years with things derived from ethanol.
i'm talking about paints, make up, car tires, electronics, medical equipment (diposables), etc.,
in a discovery channel website it points out that even aspirin is made with chemical reagents derived from petroleum
it worries me how much of industry is currently dependent on petroleum and it's derivatives
anyway, thought i'd share
Reward: nada
