    remember plastoline? that method of relatively easily transforming plastic waste into gasoline.

    good or not, worthwhile or not, i don’t think tech like this will take off when the oil industry makes so much money from drilling and fracking for that same gas.

      Plastic is already made from the residues of gasoline production.

      Sure we can extract a bit more gasoline from it but it’s not going to replace drilling oil.
