The industry’s "lock-in strategy" isn't accidental. It’s a survival tactic. By scaling up materials like plastics, synthetic fibers, or fertilizers, our global economy remains dependent on fossil fuels for decades to come. 3/5

It’s simple: you can’t have a "phaseout" if you leave the back door wide open. While climate policies target the fuels we burn, the industry is banking on a massive petrochemicals expansion to stay profitable. If we don’t stop it from happening, we can’t truly transition. 2/5
