Innovation can totally do it.. We are escaping the finiteness of oil and gas with wind and solar power.


No, we're replacing finite oil and gas with other finite resources. Sun and wind require hardware to be converted into usable energy, that requires finite materials.

Sun and wind also require massive energy storage solutions to replace the ease of storing energy in the form of oil. Again that energy storage requires finite materials to make, maintain, and replace as they degrade.
