Then, eventually, we will exhaust the supply. There may then be other consequences.
Mass starvation or climate change, for instance
Nonrenewable energy resources, such as fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas, are used faster than Earth's processes can replenish them. This leads to their depletion over time, making them unsustainable sources of energy in the long run.
Renewable energy sources are things that can be never stopped in nature. The sun, the wind, the earth's heat, and flowing water can never be stopped. Nonrenewable energy sources have been made by someone or something. Coal is dead animal bodies that got preserved in a certain climate. Petrolium and gasoline are the same, sad story. They should be replaced.
Oil and coal are among the most used nonrenewable resources.
It takes too long for these resources to be replaced. We're talking millions if not billions of years. So in practical sense, in our lifetime, or in the foreseable future, they are non renewable.
Geothermal energy is considered renewable because it is derived from the heat within the Earth's crust. As long as the Earth's core continues to generate heat, geothermal energy will be replenished.

Nonrenewable resources come from the earth. They are basically decayed remains that form into fossil-fuels.

Some nonrenewable resources of a notebook include petroleum-based plastics for covers, aluminum or steel for spiral bindings, and minerals such as graphite for pencil leads. These resources are extracted from the earth and cannot be replenished within a human lifetime.
Two groups into which most of the Earth's resources can be divided include natural resources and energy resources. One might also divide resources into mineral resources and energy resources.
Petroleum and Coal are examples of exhaustible natural resources. These resources are not-renewable - i.e. it is not possible to regenerate them naturally or through any engineering. These got made on Earth in the conditions when humankind had not emerged on Earth, and it was not even possible for human-being to live on Earth that time due to its environmental conditions.
Magnesium is considered nonrenewable as it is extracted from mineral deposits in the Earth's crust and cannot be replenished at the rate it is being consumed. However, it is abundant and recyclable, which helps to conserve its resources for future use.
Gravitational energy is generally considered a nonrenewable source because it is derived from the position and mass of objects in a gravitational field (such as Earth's gravity). Once this energy is used, it cannot be easily replenished on a human timescale.
Natural resources that are mined or extracted from the earth. Copper is a metal used in electrical wiring, petroleum is a fossil fuel used for energy and diamonds are precious gemstones used in jewelry.
It takes too long for these resources to be replaced. We're talking millions if not billions of years. So in practical sense, in our lifetime, or in the foreseable future, they are non renewable.
