discarded plastics as alternative to petroleum? Just where tf are these plastics coming from if not petroleum? This is like saying we will only burn logs in an effort to stop burning trees.

If it didn't result in lots of cancer it would be beneficial. To use your analogy, those logs would go to the landfill if they weren't burned so it would be better to use them productively.

Well of course, this is exactly how you're supposed to respond to this happy horse shit, well done. Or maybe, and this is where it gets complicated, maybe they should stop making fuxkimg logs!

We should definitely reduce plastic production when possible as well, but that doesn't change the fact that being able to reuse the plastics already made would be beneficial. It helps to be angry for the right reason if you enjoy raging, which is that they're downplaying the damage done to burning this plastic created fuel.
