"But what if you use nuclear fusion? Hydrogen is far more abundant, and solar power relies on nuclear fusion... Actually, one could make the case that no energy source is renewable. The stars will die out, the winds will stop, the water will freeze."
Abundant, yes, but fusion power is still not technically renewable energy. And, we'll all be dead long before the stars die out and the winds stop.
