Why is nonrenewable energy being used?
we might be used to it, or its better to some people
What kind of energy resources might one day replace dwindling petroleum supplies?
Solar and wind renewable energy, of course. Oil shale and tar sands
What energy can be recycled?
Energy just changes to different forms, so "recycle" might not be the right word. However, if you mean more like what *sources* of energy can be reused... things like solar power, hydroelectric power, and wind energy are renewable sources. Fossil fuels aren't... or not in the near-term, since it takes a very, very long time to renew those sources.
What energy sources might not be available in 2050?
It cannot be known for certain what will and will not be available in 2050. Speculation suggests at the present rate some fossil fuels will be almost exhausted and we may or may not have fusion power. Some form of fission will be available as will solar and other renewable sources.
How might improvements in technology for producing a given energy resource affect its net energy?
It improves energy conversions
How might a renewable energy source become nonrenewable?
Well say yo chosen resource was wood and as you chopped down trees to burn/use them, you did not plant more trees to replace them, then this resource would not be renewed. This is what is happening to the world's rainforests.
What might happen if we don't develop more renewable energy sources?
we will soon become very low in energy and have very few electricity consumers
What might people discover as they use resource?
hai i had to answer the same question and i put a guess that people might discover that some are renewable while some are nonrenewable

What if resources are wasted?
We will simply run out of that product faster or it might take longer to get more of it. Although it really depends if its a renewable or nonrenewable resource.
Is electromagnetic energy renewable?
Im sorry but no it is not
Is plastic renewable or nonrenewable?
This is somewhat more complicated than it might seem. First as most plastics are produced from petroleum or natural gas, which are nonrenewable resources, the plastics are nonrenewable. Second thermoplastics can be melted and recycled, but this is not true of thermoset plastics. But being recyclable does not make thermoplastics renewable.Only bioplastics (from living things, e.g. vegetable oils) are renewable, because their source chemicals can be grown.

Is concrete is renewable non renewable?
I don't think that concrete itself is a nonrenewable resource, but some materials in it might be. For example, the limestone in the cement (the material that makes the concrete solid) could be considered a nonrenewable resource because it takes so long for it to regenerate.
How does renewable energy relate to sustainable energy?
Renewable energy is a term applied to energy resources that replenish them self. Sustainable energy is essentially the same thing, energy resources that can be used indefinitely. The only difference to me might be the connotations, trees can be seen as a renewable resource but might not be the best sustainable option because you have to release carbon into the atmosphere to obtain energy. Solar energy could be called sustainable energy because your not having a negative impact by using it.
How might it be possible to run out of renewable resources?
Almost all renewable energy depend on sunlight somehow, so if the sun died out
How using renewable energy might affect your life?
not good using renewable energy willmake the sun dry. that meens that it will be very cold were the sun don't shine. poo
