Nearly all plastics are by products of gasoline refinement.

If you are in Canada you can watch on line a current CBC special about the history of oil. I have my roof top antenna pointed at Windsor and watch it live, fascinating program.

EDIT: It's on TVO, TV Ontario the education station.

Around the world, oil and gas fields are running dry or have become politically or environmentally toxic. For all the talk of renewables and nuclear, few doubt that humans will continue to rely on fossil fuels for the foreseeable future. Travelling to many oil- and gas-producing territories, geologist Iain Stewart traces how humans have developed fuels and how geology, technology, politics and commercial pressures have affected our insatiable consumption.
