Why is it important to know whether a resource is renewable or nonrenewable?
1.) Because it determines whether or not investing in this particular resource will be practical in the long term. For example, uranium is NOT a renewable resource, which is why fission nuclear energy which uses uranium won't be around too long if only Earth's uranium is used. 2.) Because your homework depends on it.
What is a renewable resource and how does wind energy fit?
A renewable resource is something that is used today (for generating electricity), and it's still there tomorrow for generating more.So solar power is a renewable resource. So is windpower. So is the power of water running in rivers (till they dry up), and the power of water in the tides and in the ocean waves.GeoThermal power, using the heat from deep down in the earth, is also renewable. Biomass, the burning of recently dead vegetation is also classed as renewable.Non-renewable sources of energy are wood (mostly), coal, oil, natural gas and uranium (nuclear power).
