A generation is not 50 years, how many people do you know are having children at 50?

A generation is in the 25-30 year range. So really you are worrying about your grandchildren's grandchildren.

What magic element are we going to make plastics or rubbers from?

A one-hundred year plan is destined to fail, you need to plan for the near future using known metrics, not some crystal ball or what might be.

Stating 100% what 100 years from now looks like, is idiotic.
