As necessary as
water but dwindling
By Don Oakley
The warning that automobile antifreeze will be in short
supply this season and double the price it used to be is an
unpleasant reminder that the energy crisis is still very much
with us.
The waiting lines may be gone at the neighborhood gas
station but there is a "hidden" part of the energy crisis we .
are not too conscious of until we discover a product we once
took for granted is no longer available or has soared in cost.
This is the portion of the energy spectrum that concerns
the small amount of the nation’s oil and natural gas that is
not used for fuel but as raw material for making the
petrochemicals that have become so essential to modern life.
How essential?
“From the time we get up in the morning and brush our
teeth with a plastic toothbrush and wash our faces with man-
made detergent, until we go to bed at night and pull our per-
manent press sheets and synthetic blankets, we are sur-
rounded by petrochemicals."
The quote is by Richard C. Perry who is in charge of
Feedstock and Energy for Union Carbide Corp.
Although the percentage of oil and natural gas that goes to
make petrochemicals is extremely small compared to the
amount that goes to fuel uses — about five per cent of the oil
and 10 per cent of gas — our dependence upon them is much
greater than we realize, says Perry.
Consider the family car. If we were to remove everything
based on petrochemicals from today’s automobile, gone
would not only be such essentials as antifreeze but radiator
hoses themselves, also tires, brake fluid, steering wheel,
dashboard, upholstery and carpeting. Gone, too, would be
the windshield because the resins that hold safety glass to-
gether are derived from petrochemicals. And also gone, the
grille and even the paint.
In and around the home we come in contact with
petrochemicals in paints and finishes for walls, furniture
and appliances, vinyl wall coverings and floor tile, kitchen
countertops, refrigerant for air conditioners, refrigerators
and freezers.
Even the family medicine chest depends upon petrochemi-
cals. Common aspirin is a petrochemical derivative. In the
garden shed: Garbage and leaf bags, fertilizers, bug sprays,
weed killers —all petrochemicals.
Okay. But do we really need all these manmade materials?
Why not go back to the naturally occurring materials we
used before synthetics came along?
The answer is simple, says Perry: Natural products are in
extremely short supply and getting shorter. There are too
many people in the world today to be supported by natural
products. There aren’t enough trees and we couldn’t raise
enough sheep.
Even if natural materials were available, in many cases
they cannot do the job as well or as inexpensively as syn-
thetics with their unique properties of light weight combined
with strength, wrinkle resistance, long wear, etc.
Then, too, any massive shift back to natural materials
would cause severe economic dislocations. It might seem a
simple matter, for instance, to go back to cotton for all the
things we now make from synthetic fibers. But how do we
come by the 16 to 20 million additional acres of cropland?
To add 16 million acres of cotton would mean reducing the
nation’s soybean crop by 30 per cent. A reduction that size in
soybean production would send the cost of animal feed
skyrocketing worse than it is already.
In sum, like it or not, we are dependent upon petrochemi-
cals. From no other single natural resource do we get four of
the fundamental needs of life: Food, through fertilizers and
pesticides; shelter, through structural materials, coatings
and adhesives; clothing, through fibers and health care,
through drugs.
The thing that is really hard to understand is why we con-
tinue to send most of this precious natural resource up in
flames.

EDITORIAL COMMENTS
Thoes Important Ten
Agencies of U-F
As people of the community are requested to support the 1974 Greater
Ennis United Fund- a movement which rolls a number of drives into one, for-
tunately- they should consider that the agencies assisted are carefully selected.
They are agencies that in the main are the "charitable" type and in all in-
stances, quite important to the community and area.
On the current list are:
Community Trust, Youth Recreation, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, American
Red Cross, Salvation Army, USO, United Cerebral Palsy, Southwestern Dia-
betic Foundation, East Ellis County Association for Mentally Retarded Chil-
dren.
Isn't that a splendid line-up of organizations of real importance? We-indeed
think it is.
Let's give them a lift. They are regularly performing vital services in areas
of importance to us!
