I think you're confused on what renewable resources are.

You should probably read up on a subject before you speak about it. Only makes you seem ignorant and petty when you attack someone and back it up with a falsified facts.

Very cool experiment. Kinda makes me wish we could just put a plug into the side of a tree and have it make power.

I'm impressed. Not once while raking leaves did I think, "wow, I should make some solar panels out of this stuff."
