Of course water is a renewable resource. We get it back once it takes a trip through the water cycle. So as long as we don't pollute the air too badly, and don't use more fresh water then we get back when it rains, we aren't ever going to run out. There are temporary shortages, and regions that don't have enough. But it's a matter of distribution, not supply. You can't say the same for oil. Regardless of where exactly you believe we are on the oil supply, you must conceed that for practical purposes the supply is finite. The question is are we going to run out before or after we don't need it anymore.
