Why shouldn't we "drill, baby drill?" With your logic the sooner we are

What if we ran out of oil next week, or more probably, the price
doubles or triples in a short time. As you allude to with plastic,
the real value of crude oil is as an industrial feed stock, not as a
flammable energy source.

A shortage in the material will be the mother of invention and will
dramatically change our society.
