BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) — Aera Energy LLC, formed in 1997 and responsible for nearly a quarter of the state's oil production, is releasing a new "Life Without Oil" video across the state through their social platforms and digital advertising.
According to a press release from Aera, the video will show the thousands of products Californians use every day that are made with products or byproducts of the petroleum industry. Aera says that everything from surfboards to cellphones would disappear if we didn't use oil products to make them.
The two-minute video uses a typical backyard barbecue as its setting for illustrating all the things in what they say is considered the "California lifestyle" that would be different if they were constructed of anything other than oil products.
