There’s a difference between “renewable and abundant” and “infinite”.

The amount of energy required to heat bath water is not infinite.

More solar panels aren’t going to change that.

Well yes it will. That's the whole point. To get out of fossil fuels. You get out of it by replacing things that require fossil fuels by renewable ones. You don't get out of it by merely using less of it.

That's the mentality I dont get.
