[edit] Definition of Renewable resource an solar energy

As of now the article claims that "Renewable resource" MUST " have a way of regenerating itself ", immediately after solar energy is listed as Renewable resource. However i do no think that there is way for the sun to "regenerate itself". Can someone clarify this point?--Hq3473 04:57, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

It's not the sun that is regenerated, but the energy supply from the sun. Think of the sun as being a generator of solar radiation where the wave of energy flux is constantly being generated. Something about human time scales and the sun's lifecycle should possibly be mentioned. - Shiftchange 03:20, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
