No argument, but it's not an Either/Or choice.
There are a range of options. Any carbon-based fuel will pollute, but some less than others, especially when the engine system is properly designed and maintained. At the far end is perhaps solar power, but as you have noted, even that cannot be
totally eco-friendly because one needs to make the gizmos to capture and transmit that power.
I think the point is to minimize that impact to the greatest extent practical. Using your own example, we no longer walk out into the yard to relieve ourselves; we have gone to considerable trouble to produce a system to deal with that biowaste.
Because we cannot do everything does not mean that we should not do anything.
