Renewable resources, like trees and collected rainwater can be used to produce energy without an opportunity for them to be exhausted -- since the water will be replenished by rain and new trees will grow where the old ones were cut. Non renewable resources, like oil pumped from the ground and coal deposits in coal mines were accumulated over millions of years and cannot be replaced once consumed. Both you and me will probably be around to see the next raining season or even see the next generation of trees in a forest grow up. But neither of us will be around to see today's creatures become oil, millions of years from now. And that is the true difference.
