It will likely replace oil and gas as energy sources. There are already plastics in mass production that are not made using petrochemical products, and that's not including the incentive to innovate recycling methods as plastic increases in price. Oil is going away within the century. It's why oil companies aren't drilling, despite having land with abundant oil: they can't get investors to pay for a well that won't pay itself off for 7 years (under ideal markets) when the outlook of gasoline looks bad. Natural gas is a renewable, by the way. Biodigesters can produce natural gas and hydrogen for an essentially carbon neutral fuel source. They take time to build, but faster than nuclear reactors.
