At present the majority of resources we use are non renewable. The cost of producing from preexisting concentrations of particular is still very low compared with having to develop technologies for recycling or creating the resources we need. Aluminum is the exception. It is cheaper to recycle a can than to produce a new one from bauxite.

There is more renewable solar energy than non-renewable fossil fuel energy. It's just that we are still developing ways of catching it and transforming it into electricity. But more solar energy falls on the earth in one day than the whole world uses in a year.
