I challenge you to think of your life if you had no petroleum products in your life

Why do people act like if you use fewer plastic bags you are changing petroleum dependance

Modern chemistry would come to a screeching halt, we wouldn’t be able to make drugs

we can synthesize hydrocarbons using other means. With enough nuclear power, or hell even a bunch of solar power we can bash atoms together to make these very same products.

Of course you can, but nuclear waste is so expensive and dangerous to handle that it’d never be economic to

getting a pair of Nikes would become supreme luxury

sure rockfucker, sure. If we stopped burning hydrocarbons for transportation, we'd have lots more to turn into plastics

That’s not really how cracking works though, you can’t easily just mash octanes together into polyethylene

you can replace plastic with other more expensive materials in all of these products and anyway plastic in an MRI machine is not causing any environmental damage because you are not throwing away an MRI machine everyday

Hasn't nuclear been less expensive due to its reliability and handling measures compared to the massive clean ups and greed of oil companies affecting markets. If we exclude the invietable corporate shenanigans that plague oil industry pervading into future energy sector of course.

No, handling nuclear waste in code with modern safety laws is expensive as hell

it’s weapons-grade fissile material, and a direct hazard to everyone involved. You need someone with high level clearance to drive by truck your nuclear material, with armed guards, to a bunker where it is placed deep underground, and both monitored and secured by similar personnel
