Replying to and
amazing; i have no real bearing on what fraction of fossil fuels go to plastics and i know there's been a lot of work around making it out of biomatter (but obviously it's way more expensive/crappier quality or it'd all be made out of algae or mushrooms or whatever by now)

It doesn’t really. Crude alone is $5t a year not counting further refining etc. Plastics is $600b, an order of magnitude less and no longer growth. Nobody thinks materials $ will make up for lost energy $, and there’s as much pressure on decarbonizing materials as energy.
