I think one nuanced take on this is that oil can be burned in many different ways, some more harmful than others. For example, smoke stacks without filters are obviously more harmful than those with them. The companies that operate power plants without filters should also be blamed, not just the third parties who supply oil to them. And of course, I don't think anyone blames oil companies for supplying oil for plastic production purposes; we blame companies higher up the chain for wrapping everything in plastic. I mean, there's someone in this thread complaining that salami comes packaged in plastic, which is a totally fair complaint, and also something an oil company has absolutely no control over.
