    Plant based plastics are a thing.

    Really, the only way we are going to ween ourselves off fossil fuels successfully is if they are more expensive than the alternatives. I hear shit like that all the time (big example is meat alternatives). Simply removing the subsidies that fossil fuels do enjoy would go a long way toward making them less attractive.

      You’re right, I think. But isn’t that the entire problem ? government collusion with private interests ?
