very nicely put, I'll steal that if you don't mind.

Good thing for this conversation that it can decrease locally.

(literally, otherwise life would not exist)

I don't think this is the argument tomp is making though.

That is true, but wind and solar do not change because we do use them, they will occur anew. Nuclear material does not reappear (within our system on earth). So the entropy increases for wind and solar anyways, while much slower for uranium under normal circumstances.

Only if the universe is a closed system.
