Man... even being as generous as possible, it's still an incredibly stupid point. "Renewable" doesn't mean "infinite". If something can only be renewed a finite number of times, or even once, then it's still renewable.
B-but you don't understand, why b-bother using renewable energy if you theoretically can't use it forever? We might as well just keep using fossil fuels since there is obviously an infinite supply of them and they totally don't harm the environment?
Global warming? Oh that's just climate change, that's why I was sweating my ass off on Halloween, the southern US is just obviously becoming a jungle now instead of a swamp
Let's just fucking use steam engines again
That's how coal power plants and nuclear reactors work.
I know, I just think we should use them everywhere if we're gonna give up. At least we can end the world in a cool steampunk aesthetic.
I just got third degree burns from my steamphone 😔
I like engines that kill
The fact that energy stays energy doesn’t mean it’s useable energy. See: the heat death of the universe
You trying to say heat is not usable as a source of energy? Cuz boy do I have news from you from about 15BC.
