Why is nonrenewable resources important?

Answer 1

Because of their stored energy. They help create most energy we have. We use nonrenewable resources everyday: commerce, industry, transportation, heating, cooking, lighting, etc. Oils, gases, and coal are used to produce chemicals that make plastics, fertilizers, medicines, and more.

Answer 2

You should conserve non renewable resources as if we finish them now how will the future generations use them. They only get made in millions of years - we can't live that long so it is better to conserve them and use them for important uses instead we should use Renewableresourceslike Solar, wind...

Second Answer

The economic optimum pattern for the exploitation of non-renewable resources is given by a criterion called "Hotelling's rule", which describes the net benefit of a marginal unit of consumption rising at a rate equal to the Social Time Preference (or the Opportunity cost of capital, which ought to be the same. That rule describes a pattern of consumption in which social welfare cannot be increased either by consuming any unit of the resource earlier (even though earlier consumption is more valued) or by delaying its consumption any further (even though delayed consumption will take place when the resource is scarcer and its marginal value higher).
