ie not renewable
It's not renewable but it is fossil free.
This is going a bit too far for my old brain
Oil on the other hand is renewable. You just need to wait a while.
Oil is not, nor is coal. Oil and coal were laid down when plants died in absence of bacteria that could digest them
Now wood rots.
That's a good point. I stand corrected
Honestly, if you wait long enough, everything is. Even heavy chemical elements decay and split and break and eventually you get back to a proton and an electron (hydrogen)
No, but still fossil free (which is how the original post described it).
