When you extract and burn oil, that oil no longer exists. Eventually, our reserves of oil will be gone. However, no matter how much wind a turbine captures or sunlight a solar panel collects and turns into electricity, that has no baring on how much wind and sun will be available tomorrow. Nothing has been depleted, as there is an endless supply of wind, sunlight, etc.
