delusional climate activists.

[Oh_hunnihunni]

We need oil to make plastics. Important plastics. Medical plastics, not coke bottles.  We need oil for far more important things than powering combustion engines.

That isn't delusional. It's common sense.

Exactly my point, although there is a push to shift away from plastics in some areas

It's delusional to say we need to stop drilling for oil for this very reason.
Ironically if we shift away from fuel burning cars, then the flammable hydrocarbons will be a useless byproduct unless it can be synsythised into other products likely plastics and polymers.

So why are you calling activists delusional, if in fact you agree with them?
