Green Dream to End Fossil Fuels Also Means Going without Plastics

American Thinker


. . . "The current crop of Democratic Party presidential wannabees have drunk the Green New Deal (GND) Kool-Aid.  Stop fracking!  Stop oil and gas production on federal lands!  Ban offshore oil and gas production!  Most of these “rocket scientists” come from states that import their refined products for transportation fuels and heating oil.  They do not want any of those stinking oil refineries in their backyards but please continue to import the gasoline and diesel from refineries in the Virgin Islands or from Venezuelan-owned refineries.  So where do we get plastics if oil and gas production ceases?  Technology exists to convert coal into hydrocarbons but it is energy-intensive and very expensive.  By the way, that technology was developed to further Hitler’s Nazi putsch to conquer the world.  So do we return to a world of “Before Plastics”?" . . .
