    Genuine question, how is burning something considered “clean” energy?

      It’s considered renewable as the CO2 emitted will turn into new olives by the tree growing. The oil and gas we burn has been accumulated over millions of years and won’t be replenished.

      It’s not as clean as it gets, but it’s a lot better than fossil fuels.

        Thanks, so it’s cleaner rather than clean. Makes sense.
