To ignore this potential is wasteful and foolish. It is wasteful and destructive to be burning this versatile molecule; we must stop. Some examples are the use of fiberglass, carbon fiber and Kevlar substituting for wood and metal in vehicle parts, appliances and furniture products. But use of petroleum will continue.
