I doubt many, if any, of those advocating for a move to renewable energy and EVs are calling for a blanket ban on oil for non-combustive uses.
We have alternatives for far, far more than 0.1% of the world's plastic though. We could probably get rid of most of it without a change in our quality of life, or effectiveness of products. Keep the oil for the few uses that can't be easily replaced by other more sustainable sources. Which almost certainly means contact lenses, and assorted medical uses, specialised equipment, some chemicals etc.
- ThomPete 7y agoWe don't have alternatives and those we have are simply not good enough and extremely expensive. Even if you could replace 10% it wouldn't mean anything.
