Oil will stick around for a very long time due to the really useful chemicals you can use when you aren't burning it. Stuff like plastic is really hard to make without it.
Natural gas is nearly useless in comparison, it's pretty hard to use in chemistry

I’ve been experimenting recently with double coating and exposing bioplastic cyanotype.
This one has been coated & exposed three times while wet. The extra moisture the bioplastic is absorbing is causing drying issues hence the cracks in this piece.

There are -so- many viable bioplastic alternatives available, if only the PetroChem Industry wasn't trying to crush them into the dirt for competing.
The world is drowning in plastic.
Experts say we need to stop making so much. But the plastics industry is peddling a "solution" that works like magic.
Don't be fooled.
