    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.

        So what? That’s not an answer to my question or a followup to your comment.

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

            No one’s arguing. You chipped in. It didn’t make sense. You can’t make it make sense, apparently. I guess we really are done here then.
