Plastics will get more expensive as we use less and less oil.

Plastics are basically a waste byproduct from the energy industry. As we use less oil, there will be less plastic trying to find a use and flooding the supply of plastics.

When prices rise, a lot of single use plastics, like water bottles, will be uneconomical.

Completely wrong, "With gasoline’s days numbered, oil companies are sending huge amounts of their production to chemical plants for plastic."

We're gonna get MORE plastic when we use less oil. Always follow the profits.
