When you're talking about renewables you're only talking about the end product, a delivery mechanism that transforms one source of energy into another one that machines can use, that itself needs to be built from resources mined, transformed and transported to be assembled and delivered. All this requires a lot of energy and to date it's fossil fuels. Not renewables. We were 100% renewables in the past. We had wind mills and water wheels. If it was that good why did we move to fossil fuels?
