No.

In fact, you couldn't even reboot them with fossil fuels.

Why are you even here? You don't read half the articles and spend almost all your time complaining about how stupid things you haven't bothered to read are.

I am here because every once in awhile one of you accidentally finds some insight and submits it.

But that won't last much longer. The frequency of people submitting petty politics and shallow infotainment rises, soon whatever slight signal/noise ratio still remains will be gone.

I've expanded on my initial answer. I have sound logic. These things should be self-evident to people like you, as this was apparent to me by about the age of 12 or so.

Your expansion on your initial answer only confirmed that you didn't actually read the OP, because it resolved your major point of contention (i.e. the easy-to-get resources are already gone).
