Fossil fuels are nonrenewable because they are formed over millions of years from the decayed remains of plants and animals. Since this process takes such a long time, fossil fuels are being consumed faster than they can be replenished, making them nonrenewable resources.

What do you mean when you say that fossil fuels are nonrewnewable?

Fossil fuels are non-renewable because we don´t make them. We dig them up out of the ground. We don´t know how much fossil fuel we will be able to find in the ground, but we do know that it is not infinite. It takes thousands of years for fossil fuels to be made in the ground, and we are using them at a much faster rate, and we will therefore, someday, run out of it. Renewable energy sources include solar power, which will be available as long as our sun keeps burning. For our purposes, this is pretty much infinite.
