Coal, natural gas, crude oil are non-renewable fossil resources. Once used up they can't be replaced as they took millions of years to form in the first place. This why we are looking to develop alternative resources, wind, tide, solar, nuclear, and looking for new sources of existing fossil resources.

Can crude oil be sustained?
Crude oil is a finite resource that takes millions of years to form, so it cannot be sustained indefinitely. However, technological advancements may allow for the continued extraction and use of crude oil for many years to come, although efforts to transition to renewable energy sources are important for long-term sustainability and environmental reasons.
What is another name for petroleum?
Petrol. actually its oil.
How many gallons of crude are in 1 barrel of crude?
1 barrel of crude oil equals 42 US gallons of crude oil.
How are polymers made into crude oil?
Polymers are not made into crude oil. Crude oil is composed of a mixture of hydrocarbons that are naturally occurring in the earth's crust. However, polymers can be derived from crude oil through a process called polymerization, where small molecular units (monomers) derived from crude oil are chemically bonded together to form long chains known as polymers.
Will crude oil run out?
Yes. There is only so much of it and scientists think it takes hundreds of thousands of years to form naturally. There are many theories to when we are going to run out, but I don't believe there is much of a consensus on that.
Why was crude oil invented?
Crude oil wasn't 'invented' ! It is a natural resource. There is a finite amount of crude oil in the Earth's surface - which will eventually run out... forcing us to use alternatives whether we want to - or not ! !
Why crude oil is bad?
Crude oil is considered bad for several reasons: It is a non-renewable resource, meaning it will eventually run out. Its extraction and consumption contribute to air and water pollution. The burning of crude oil releases greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change.
Can diesel and crude diesel be mixed and legally run on the highway?
Crude oil is not diesel fuel - it is crude oil, and you really do not want to run this through your engine. Pre-EPA2010 diesels and off-highway diesels are able to run off waste oil if so desired, but this requires pre-heating and straining of the oil (and this is oil which is already processed, not crude oil). Aside from that, such a mixture wouldn't be legal for any on-highway applications.

Which fossel fuel is thought to run out first?
Crude oil
What important resource is Dubai possibly going to run out of?
crude oil
Why cant you renew a nonrenewable resource?
A non-renewable source is a product of the Earth that we use as an energy source (such as crude oil). We find these particular non-renewable sources from under the groun and in the sea, where we extract it and sell it as energy. Eventually, these resources will run out, as we are extracting at a faster pace than crude oil generates (crude oil is made from decomposed animals and plants over millions of years). This is why we are trying to use renewable sources such as wind energy. The wind will never 'run out'.
When will the Saudi oil supply run out?
The Arabian Peninsula oil will be largely depleted of sweet crude by 2020
Is petroleum a nonrenewable resource or a renewable one?
Petroleum is a nonrenewable resource because like oil it can eventually run out Unrefined petroleum is known as "crude oil" - it is oil, not like oil. Petroleum IS RENEWABLE, because it is refined from raw materials (crude oil) which is composed of minerals (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, sulfur and others) which never go away. The question should be: "HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR CRUDE TO BE RENEWED?" And that is a question that nobody has the answer to. Scientific evidence is inconclusive and still a bone of contention.
