The analogy of course wasn't exact, but it fits the structure of your argument, so it shows your argument was wrong.

Fuel availability is NOT a problem. There is no shortage of sunlight, or wind, or uranium (if used in breeder reactors, and why are fusion reactors, which are breeders, allowed but fission breeders are not?) The 200 year figure for uranium assumes a once-through cycle. In breeders, ores with 50-100x less uranium per unit mass of ore would be usable, because breeder get so much more energy out of each unit of uranium mined.

Oh, and please don't repeat the Rare Earth canard. Solar doesn't use rare earths, and wind doesn't have to. I think you're just repeating talking points you haven't bothered to understand.
