Perhaps not, but lighting using whale oil certainly makes use of a renewable source.

Ah, the wax from candles *is* the fuel, the wick is just there to make it burn easier. Cheap candles drip a lot of wax, that would be reusable but that's only a small percentage of the fuel.

If you use bees wax, that is good in candles and I suppose that could be considered renewable. They won't drip much if at all.

************************** There's probably hefty fines for whaling. Protected species, for sure. Let me guess, you would use spotted owl feathers as a wick?

The point I was raising, which was evidently too obscure for some, is that a "renewable resource" is not automatically preferred.

I don't know about spotted owl feathers. Whether they would work is completely unknown, but they ARE renewable. To some, that's all that matters.
