Plastics make up only about 4% of the total oil production.

I'd say oil extraction needs to be reserved for that, long term (hundreds of years). Medium term, reserved for industrial, space, commercial transportation, and rural use only. I cannot believe we're in the year twenty-fucking-twenty-three and we still have non-commercial ICE vehicles driving around metro areas in developed nations.

Not to mention we have SO much plastic already out there that if every source of oil dried up tomorrow we'd just find a better way to recycle.
