What do you think human nature is closer to? That of gods, angels, or demons?

Define "human" as whatever your worlds closest equivalent is, if you need to.

As I saw it, humans were slowly draining the lifeforce of the planet to power their comforts. Energy made from the essence and memories of those who once lived, used up and forgotten.

The only way to give back from what they've taken is to forfeit their own lives. Return to the planet before there is nothing left.

So you think they should simply die instead of trying to find other ways to power their comfort? That's pretty cold.

Even the humans where I'm from have several means of creating energy, from harnessing the wind, sun, and sea, to burning fuels that pollute the planet, to even nuclear energy.

Obviously all power sources are not made equal, and I can't really comment on using the dead, unless you count dinosaurs.

(Thats burning coal and other ancient stuff, it's particularly bad for the planet)

I just don't see why killing them all has to be the way when humans are particularly adaptable and intelligent.

I find humans to be cruel, betrayers, full of greed. I do not see them in the light that you do.

Do you think the same of each and every human here too? Because the ones here seem especially kind, caring, and giving. Very much willing to go out of their way to help someone in need.

Maybe you just haven't met the right person yet.

I have no opinion about the people here, most are not known to me aside from those who originated from my world.

Have you considered I don't know, trying to talk to other people? I'm sure there's plenty here who could make you see otherwise.
