It's not black and white. Renewable energy is better than burning oil, agreed.

But i.e. there is no recycling process for old wind turbines (carbon fiber) - they need to be replaced after 30 years or solar panels (composite material). And e-cars need batteries which need lithium (mines). Also rare earths are needed for generators and electric motors - rare earths are... rare and the production requires lots of energy and produces toxic waste (in China... which has kind of a monopoly on it. )

Maybe solvable problems in the long run but currently these are unsolved issues...

Hey you know which energy sources also have lots of unsolved issues with waste disposal and pollution? Fossils.
