Remember Ash, this will "self-regulate" for at least two years or longer; there is no need for concern here.
... Or as long as it takes to tool-up and get manufacturing of the devices going all over the world in a big way. In the short term, there are way too few devices available for the huge demand. People continue using fossil fuels much as they do now. In the long term, the oil and coal corps still have 30% of their business for plastics and other stuff... This change will not happen fast enough for anyone! Maybe 5 years for the change-over to completely happen? That is long enough. Meanwhile, can you think of any specific group of people who's skills and knowledge will be in very high demand during this period...?
I can, hehehe.
Increased manufacturing is the best, most direct stimulus for any economy... It boot-straps up entire towns; it creates numerous side businesses and services. It fills the tax coffers with income tax from the workers, corporate tax from the manufacturing companies, and sales tax from the increased consumerism in the area; while lowering the number of people getting government assistance. It raises property values in the towns, thus increasing property taxes too. It would end the budget deficit and create economic stability again within a short time.
We will have at least 20 years of booming manufacturing economy to fulfill all the energy-producing device needs, with all the thousands of parallel applications (longer, as incremental advances will keep it going with replacement technologies that are even better). Meanwhile by then, the poor areas of the world are lifted up into having a viable & prosperous middle class, a huge new market to sell to... Lol these people weren't buying ANYTHING before, because they were at subsistence level. Access to cheap, clean, and safe energy changes all that: Gives them clean water for drinking and irrigation, much more efficient and productive farming, cottage industries, factories... Even better, it gives their countries the stability needed to promote business and consumer banking (something we take for granted here, like getting a home mortgage or small business loan... But is not available for most people in the world).
And increased prosperity is the best known, most ethical method of lowering population growth: Once people are better educated, and move up to the middle class, birth rates drop dramatically.
Whenever new world-changing technologies arose throughout History, they always caused a net increase in prosperity. So it will be in this case as well.... But on a scale never before seen

@Jib I say get em with replacing plastic even fire breathing too
Plastic = replace with HEMP
Fire twirling/Fire Breathing
Replace with an open source organic method
Citric acid from orange peal
Almond oil to neutralize it (so its not as volatile)
Bi Carb to bind it.
Making some later to post. Breathing fire is Fun. Hear that Big oil? Open source engineers now breath fire LOL
We need to start looking at implementation as an opportunity.
I find it hard to believe that ALL the GREAT INVENTIONS of mankind ALREADY HAPPENED !
