Windmills and solar panels aren't free. Neither are transmission lines.

As an input into the power plant, sun and wind are free.

The earth is finite: Next sun and wind are virtually limitless, but trees and horses are not.

More practically though, there are only limited areas where solar and wind power are economic. The US southwest for solar in NA. The high plains, offshore, and certain mountain areas for wind.

You continue to make a fool of yourself insisting that wood, ie. biomass, isn't a renewable source of energy. Everyone else in the world knows it as I've indicated to you. But go on, continue defining the word according to your private definition. Everyone in the world is WRONG by you.

Btw why do think horses need power plants?
