What is stopping us from using solar thermal power to convert waste plastic to crude oil?

Actually I just watched the video, this seems like a valid solution to the world's plastic problem, the guy who made i is going places.

There's nothing wrong with chemical engineering, plumbing is a very valuable skill.

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard, this has to be bait.
We need to stop burning things to generate power, therefore we should not be converting plastics into fuel to burn.

Why did we turn all that crude oil to plastic in the first place?

Ah yeah, that's what we need, more plastic objects to go floating around in the sea, turning into microplastic.

It's the economy. Right now it's just more profitable to use solar to produce electric power. This might change once all fossil fuel power is replaced by wind and solar. It becomes an option once we got more solar power then we need.
