No. Fossil fuels may be more energy dense But they need to be extracted, refined, transported and warehoused.
The costs of greenhouse gas emissions through their environmental side effects are not even part of that calculation.
In the meantime, a wind turbine keeps generating energy as long a there is wind. We can't deplete wind or ocean waves as a resource.
The more we invest in renewable energy, the more efficient per follar speny it becomes.
