You cannot run out of a renewable resource. That is the point of the word renewable. Take wind energy, for example. For wind to run out, we would have to have our atmosphere change drastically, which, in that case, we would most likely all be dead.

Answer:

Although resources are renewable they are not inexhaustible. Like the money in your checking account. If you start with a set amount (say $200) and add $50 a week from your pay, the account will grow and if you spend $50 a week on average you will have money left in the account forever. If you spend more than $50 every week your account will slowly disappear. Renewable resources have to be replaced at at least the rate they are being used to remain "in your account". This is called resource management. Failure to do this results in problem like the disappearance of cod stocks on the East coast of Canada.
