What If: Science, Theory, and Possibilities

What If the Oceans Were Made of Gasoline?


Listen Later

Picture this: it’s a scene from a disaster movie. The oceans are ablaze and burning out of control. Have you entered the ninth circle of hell?


Nope. We’re rebuilding the oceans. This time, they’re not saltwater oceans. These oceans are made of gasoline!


What would the environmental impact be? Why would gasoline oceans destroy international trade? And (the question we’ve all been asking) would it make gas prices cheaper?
