9. The difference being...

With Wind and Solar what ever resources are used to manufacture, install and bring them online is the vast majority of their need.

Unlike fossil fuel energy generators you have to continue to use energy to supply those power plants with fuel to generate electricity.

The fuel that powers wind and solar is a resource granted by our environment. Doesn't matter if those windmills or solar panels only last 20 years - we didn't have to mine, drill, frack, etc continuously to supply the fuel to power them. We just need to find ways to store the energy when it's plentiful or build transmission lines to move it to where it's needed.
