@Sandra@idiomdrottning.org It’s a bit more complicated than that. The products and derivates of oil like I mentioned is a huge deal not only for plastic, and regardless of their environmental impact (degrading and pollution issue) there are no viable subtitutes for large scale. Not only that, petrochemical products are also used in pharmaceutical production - again with lack of substitution at this point. We’re stuck with oil for the foreseeable future unless we dismantle our entire way of life

@Sandra@idiomdrottning.org it’s cumbersome but oil is still vital for many petrochemical products. The lack of oil alternatives is still a big problem for other industries. Regardless of the transportsector.

@MarkRuffalo@mastodon.social Its important to see the US move towards cleaner energy. European climate policy has become too volatile which unfortunately makes it a riskier and more complex market. Europe needs to step up.
