Is electricty nonrenewable?
Electricity itself cannot be considered renewable or nonrenewable--what matters is how that electricity is produced. Any resource that can be replenished by sustainable processes at a rate faster or equal to its use by humans can be considered renewable. Most of the electricity in the world is generated from nonrenewable fuel sources, such as coal, gasoline, natural gas, or other fossil fuels. Sources such as solar cells, windmills, hydroelectric dams, and geothermal power plants are considered renewable sources of electricity. Alcohol and biodiesel derived from renewable crops such as corn, sugarcane, and switch grass are also renewable sources of energy. Nuclear power plants, especially breeder-style reactors, may also be considered renewable sources of energy.
