The handle “renewables” is questionable. Oil is in many respects renewable. Known reserves are always increasing and it constantly seeps up from ocean depths. Wind and solar, with maintenance and recycling challenges, seem to many of us to be not renewable at all but rather creating more challenges with more use.

To be fair, oil has plenty of maintenance and logistics issues too. "Renewable" is the energy source, not the collection method!
