Why cant you renew a nonrenewable resource?
A non-renewable source is a product of the Earth that we use as an energy source (such as crude oil). We find these particular non-renewable sources from under the groun and in the sea, where we extract it and sell it as energy. Eventually, these resources will run out, as we are extracting at a faster pace than crude oil generates (crude oil is made from decomposed animals and plants over millions of years). This is why we are trying to use renewable sources such as wind energy. The wind will never 'run out'.
Is petroleum a nonrenewable resource or a renewable one?
Petroleum is a nonrenewable resource because like oil it can eventually run out Unrefined petroleum is known as "crude oil" - it is oil, not like oil. Petroleum IS RENEWABLE, because it is refined from raw materials (crude oil) which is composed of minerals (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, sulfur and others) which never go away. The question should be: "HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR CRUDE TO BE RENEWED?" And that is a question that nobody has the answer to. Scientific evidence is inconclusive and still a bone of contention.
