To tell you the truth that is one part of the whole energy equation that hasn’t gotten ANY play at all...
Plastics have helped us protect the environment in many ways, really. What in the world WOULD we do if we were to “outlaw” all petroleum products? It’s been a while since I studied these things, but I recall a great many products that are made with petroleum and petroleum by-products. No-one is even talking about that at all...
For those who aren’t aware, take a gander at this quick list of just a FEW of the products that are made from petroleum...

I also work with companies that work with petroleum as major byproducts. Why is it all about gas?? I do not want my company to move to another country that is an oil drilling country!
What about my job!/sarcasm
Jillions of by products come from petrol .. unreplacable.
