So since we are talking about the earth alone and energy coming from the sun, you could say that in our life time( and the life time of many generations after us) that hydroelectricity will never run out. Of course that would assume rain keeps falling, water keeps evaporating, and the sun doesn't spontaneously go supernova in the next 2000 years.
The US is one selfish place that just thinks of relative gains and not the overall prosperity of the planet. It's a sad realization but that is the truth of Capitalism. Don't get me wrong, US is the place to be, but there are a lot of big private powers that don't want to see the Oil Companies go out of business. They get lobbyists, desperate scientists, and propaganda to fool the working class of this nation into voting for leaders that will keep Oil Companies number one.

On the other hand, renewable power is heavily under developed. The transport of wind and hydro electricity from central and northern US is inefficient and expensive. In the end, Renewable energy is hard and expensive but the real question is: Would you rather pay more than you want and live on a clean planet or take the easy route, pay a lot less and slowly kill the earth?
"The second law of thermodynamics states that in a natural thermodynamic process, there is an increase in the sum of the entropies of the participating systems."
So how does it beg to differ in terms of a hydro electric power and renewable resources?
I quite like pedantry. It opens the eyes of the ignorant.:D
I totally agree!:D As a third point, the different bacteria could have evolved separately and got to the same point. as an example, flies, birds, and bat are all different, they all evolved and formed wings.
First, Atlanta DOT is relaxed in the wake of the Snowpocalypse. Now, Atlanta PD holds up 75-85 to blow up an aluminum can. I'm just an innocent civilian but I think Atlanta needs some better people running this place. Just saying...

Ohhh ok. So do you think there needs to be another word for it? since renewable is a little misleading?

If you really think the bible's representation of age and time is literal then I'm sorry but you are just as knowledgeable as people 2000 years ago.

~2.3 billion years > ~35 million years. Just saying...
