When we run out of oil are we going to still be able to make plastic products or atleast plastic like products?

like do we know a way to produce artificial plastic or somthing like that?When we run out of oil are we going to still be able to make plastic products or atleast plastic like products?
bacterial extracts are being developed to make plastics, still in trial stages, they are more biodegradable so better for the environment like the large companys care about the environment anyway!When we run out of oil are we going to still be able to make plastic products or atleast plastic like products?
We can make artificial oil and plastics, but they are hyper-expensive and cannot be produced in the quantities that we use. Also, of the synthetic plastics, we are limited on the types that we can make. When oil runs out, plastic will become valuable. It will be recycled, and possibly mined from old landfills.
We are not going to run out of oil.





The cost of getting oil out of the ground is high for oil in some locations - so high that it can't be sold for a high enough price to pay for getting it out of the ground.





But, as the relatively cheap oil sources dry up, the price of oil will rise, making the hard-to-get oil worth mining.





So, we will still have plastics, but they will be more expensive than they are now.
We won't run out of oil for a long time buddy.





Seriously, Ky
