        All I’m saying is fuel/power is not the only thing it’s used for and if oil companies start losing money in one area they’ll ramp up another.

          Power generation is predominantly coal and natural gas. Liquid petroleum, the base material for plastics, is used very little for electrical generation.

          So do you want to explain again how using more renewables instead of coal and natural gas is going to drive up plastic production? I think your point is just reflexively pessimistic.

                I’m not answering your question because it’s a ridiculous thing to argue about. Have a nice life.
