How important is Gasoline in our life? We all know it is important for our vehicles and we should conserve it. It did not take long for people to realize its actual importance. In January this year the strike in the oil sector hit the country badly enough for it carve for every drop of oil.It went on for just 2 days and there was already a panic situation in the country. Some were happy that at least for a day the traffic was less on the roads but what if things had gone worse?
Thousands of petrol and diesel pumps ran dry and cooking gas distributors stopped taking orders for fresh supply. Some power stations and refineries also shut down as natural gas supplies failed. In some areas, blacked-out residents could not run their generators due to lack of diesel. This all happened when fuel was not available for a day or two.
How would have things shaped up had it continued? Thinking about the worst case scenario there would have been no cars,buses,autos to travel in. Even the Delhi Metro and other trains would have stopped working. Without any electricity we would not watch the television or work on our computers. All cellphones would have stopped working since nobody could charge their battery again. Things would have somewhat been like the early days of our parents or even worse because they had electricity for a few hours daily. They had some buses running on the roads. Things would have been bad and I do not think anybody of us would like live that era of early 60s or 70s.
My post may sound pessimistic but we got to think about it. If any of us starts to write all the applications of the Gasoline and its close relatives then i may take a week or more to write them all. The point is if all are so dependent on it then why don't we do something about it. Just watching television advertisements about saving fuel will not help. Be smart Act now.
