Non Renewable sources are the primary source of energy being used worldwide. The United States has an abundance of coal as well as oil, coal and natural gas. The rate at which we are using these resources is much faster than the rate at which they are being replenished.
Examples of nonrenewable energy sources include
Fossil Fuels
➱ Oil
➱ Coal
➱ Natural Gas
➱ Petroleum
➱ Nuclear Power
Overall, nonrenewable energy sources are an important part of the world's energy mix, but they are becoming increasingly controversial due to their environmental impact and the fact that they will eventually be depleted. As a result, many countries are working to increase their use of renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power, which are replenished naturally and do not produce greenhouse gases.
Examples of renewable energy sources include
➱ Wind
➱ Hydroelectric
➱ Solar
➱ Biomass
Overall, renewable energy sources are a clean and sustainable alternative to nonrenewable energy sources, such as fossil fuels, and are an important part of the global effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change.
