They'd probably condescendingly tell you it isn't "renewable". :roll: Well, the sun isn't either.

You might need to ask which one is appropriate.

Whoops. :P

That'd be disappointing. It's worth a shot to convince them, though.

Yep, I will.

Yeah, I actually didn't realize that. How would you do that? Is there a tutorial online?

There's a lot of stuff you'd have to buy (tens of thousands of dollars), but it's accessible to a hobbyist. Could take a few years (or a gofundme) to save up.

Well shit, we gotta find a way to make it renewable. Time's-a-wastin'. Only got about 4.5 billion years left.

Oh, wow. I guess I'll save up if I want to do that, but I'm still not sure what I'll study. I have to think about it.

Why do we need a renewable energy source?

When you say renewable, do you mean lasting until the heat death of the universe?
