Then the non-renewable ones will run out that much more quickly.

How do you distinguish between nonrenewable and renewable energy?
Renewable means that those resources will be replaced when they are used - either they grow back, like trees, or they are produced constantly, like sunlight. Nonrenewable means that once you use them, they are used, and when you use everything, there will be no more. Resources like coal and oil are nonrenewable because it takes so long to make more (by pressure deep inside the ground for millions of years) that once we use them, no more will be made during our lives. A: Renewable: Renewable energy-or resources-are replenished onced they have been removed and used. They will either grow back, or keep doing what they are doing. Meaning that they are always being produced. Non-renewable: Nonrenewable energy-or resources-are not replenished once they have been removed, taken away, and used. Once it is gone, it will never come back.

What is renewable energy or resources?
Non-renewable resources:There are loads of non-renewable resources, one of the ones we use mostly (and the one we are most in danger of losing) is oil. Without oil, we wouldn't be able to have things like heated water or be able to use radiators and making things like plastics, we even use it to make things like soap. We would also have no petrol to put in cars and to power some of the biggest machines in the world. If all the oil was to run out we would face a load of problems and wouldn't be able to do most of these things but would have to come up with alternatives instead.
How can underdeveloped areas of the world find and use renewable energy?

Is wind nonrenewable or renewable?
Usually, the terms renewable and non-renewable describe the result of resources which we use. For example, petroleum is non-renewable because once it is burned, it can not be recycled or returned. Even if large quantities exist, the important aspect is that there is less of the resource after it is consumed. We definitely place more importance on non-renewable resources that in the future may become scarce due to consumption and supply limitations. Land is not directly consumed so we should not classify it as renewable or non-renewable. However, we use land as farms and these in turn plants consume minerals in the earth such as phosphate and potassium. We add fertilizers to the land to replenish these minerals. Natural gas is used in the production of ammonia, used in fertilizers to supply nitrogen. (See link) Since some of the raw materials used in fertilizers are limited, this is a non-renewable resource. I have included a link from a manufacturer who claims to produce a "renewable fertilizer." In the future, we will likely have to switch to fertilizers which use less non-renewable minerals. See links.

Why is renewable energy important?
Non-renewable resources such as oil and coal will eventually run out, whereby it will stop providing us with energy. Renewable resources, on the other hand, will not run out. Examples like sunlight, wind, tree,water etc. can be used to provide us with energy as well after non-renewable resources have been exhausted. why are renewable resources important?!? well, because we need our resources.. energy, fuel ect.. but, we dont want to harm the planet to get them. So, we use renewable resources so we use resources that doesnt take away things from our environment that we cant put back in. That way we dont make the situation worse by removing important things from our planet, and also keep resources that we can continue to count on.
