Gasoline was pushed by oil companies because they had nothing else to do with this byproduct

Maybe originally, but now the demand for gasoline far outstrips the amount naturally found in crude oil. That's why they invented cracking.

If one day there ever were an excess of light components in oil, they could simply transform it into higher-weight molecules. Along those lines, one of the biggest uses for natural gas is for building polymer chains.

I didn't have "learning that someone on Slashdot believes that the Cold War was a myth" on my bingo card for today.

That's not even vaguely what I said, so it's unclear if this is some kind of language issue or the result of a disability, but I'm just feeling worse and worse for you. You somehow believe the cold war was about communism?

$2.5 million doesn't even register on the state budget. PBS is incredible value for the money. I watched PBS frequently as a child and not just for the childrens shows. I learned to cook with Julia Child and Yan Can Cook. I learned home improvement from watching Bob Vila. I learned carpentry from Norm and his massive shop and also how it was done by hand with the Woodrights Shop. Not to mention all the science and documentary shows. But I guess all that stuff is woke and gay now for not kissing a certain orange individuals ring.
