Re:Oil Needs to Fall Below $20 to Compete With Green Alterna... by est31 on Monday August 05, 2019 @07:18AM (#20613114)
The moment renewables are cheaper than oil extraction they have won. The issue is just that oil extraction costs, while exant, are quite low for some types of oil. As a long term trend though I guess we'll see energy become cheaper and cheaper in a competitive race, driven by the wish for the market to adopt renewables. So hopefully we'll soon live in a world where energy is cheap and green :).

Well renewable plastic and generally speaking polymers are far off. A lot of oil will still be used. Hydrocarbons have way more uses.
