Best Answer

Fossil fuels formed long ago (millions of years). Oil, coal, natural gas. once they're used up it would take many millions of years to replace them.

Renewable energy is things like trees (tens to hundreds of years to replace)

and solar power, water power, wind energy (constantly replenished).

All power comes from the sun - except nuclear power.
