Damn!!! Does that mean we'll have to start making cars from steel and glass
Again.
That means we'll have to start up those old dirty steel mills and glass
factories
again.
Seriously, i made my living in a glass and steel refractories plant making
furnaces
for the glass industry and liners and skid blocks for steel furnaces.
Partly because of plastics the business suffered for the last few years.

Do not count on that, the pressure to reduce weight will become more intense
as the automotive industry will be forced to produce more fuel-efficient
vehicles, because gas will remain high from here on in.
