I completely agree wiith you we have the terminology badly mixed up, which confuses most people.
A fundamental issue, which comes about maybe from science somehow becoming detached from, and even opposed to religion, it seems to me, is that we do not really understand energy.
It isn’t renewable, it all comes from the sun.
("good comes from above, bad comes from under our feet, god lives above, the devil below", etc)
With that sorted out, we can quickly build up a set of very useful simple logical rules, built on observation.
For example, we should see clearly Earth is like a giant battery, to which the joules of the sun are constantly added, effectively trickle charging it.
We should see that there is no way within Earth, of charging it up, with or without our help, only the energy of the sun can do it, the sun is the only energy source that we have to play with.
Volcanic energy is a store of energy which was not charged by trickle charging, but we should see is residual heat energy from when our planet was probably ejected from the sun, during an earlier volcanic phase of the sun, I believe. The story that Earth somehow coagulated separately from the sun, from cosmic dust, does not make sense and looks like unprovable, profit driven nonsense to me.

(Again religion warns of the dangers of profit and greed)

Is it coincidence that all planets rotating around the sun themselves rotate in the same direction, and orbit all in the same plane? Of course not.
So using any of the sun inherited energies, like rotation / orbital kinetic energy, and volcanic energy, has potentially even greater consequence than using the trickle charged stores of energy like oil.
Because we can increase the effect of trickle charging to some extent using known technology, we can put right what we’ve done by using oil.
But fixing any imbalances that come about as a result of us using sun inherited energies will be much more difficult.

Fixing those would require technologies we don’t yet have, and might never have, like fusion.

Imagine, if we veered out of orbit, or if we could find no way to reverse rapid planetary cooling.
These things we can see clearly, if we understand there is only one energy, it comes from the sun.

I’ve written about the study of this being a new specialist area of Systems Engineering (I am a systems Engineer)

I’ve called it “Kardashev Engineering”, for want of a better term.

If we understand the relationships that should exist between religions (all of them), science, and ethics, then we start to see a kind of jigsaw puzzle, into which all the pieces fit.

Taking energy from the Earth is bad.

Taking energy from the sun is good.

And Geoengineering…. very bad!

All the bad stuff always has a link to profit. In fact everything bad we know comes comes down to profit.

So the changes we seek to make to the system should include economy, by changing it to eliminate the possibility of profit.

“Kardashev Money” is key there.

If folk need an enemy to focus on, I’d suggest the profit monster. It seems very much a live thing, since we started to equip it with, and even embody it with “Ai”.
