Actually you should feel like the guy from "It's A Wonderful Life" who also tried to get George Bailey to invest in his father's business that was doing plastics.
In this case though I don't see a great market. We'll have our petrochemical development that can be used for it and their also finding ways to use non-petro sources to create bio-degradable plastics. As cheap as plastic is I don't see it as something to base their entire economy on. I'm not making excuses for them.
