Why does it have to be all or nothing?
This question should be directed to “Keep it in the Ground’ advocates. It is their position that any use of petroleum or fossil fuels is catastrophic and must be prevented. Your question implies there some uses of petroleum which are advantageous or desirable. A cost benefit analysis is the starting point for evaluating energy use but these are rarely used in the environmental discourse. At present, energy forms are defined as either all good or all bad which is ridiculous.
