As previously said in the water engine thread, the only true renewable resource is sunlight, and it is a far sight easier to turn that into electricity than it is to turn it into oil.

The only thing holding back electric vehicles besides the oil lobbies has been battery technology.
The sun is not a renewable resource. Read Issac Asimov's "The Last Question". Entropy is a bitch.
