There is actually quite a lot of non-renewable energy left.
Even ignoring all the fossil fuels (stored sunshine), there are still all the nuclear fuels, some of which are not even touched yet.
The Nuclear Fuels industry at present has been based entirely on the desire to recover Plutonium for the manufacture of Atomic Weapons. That is why the construction of new atomic plants was essentially stopped - the governments have enough plutonium for an overkill of bombs, and the problems of disposing of the waste products is difficult.
And, even if we had run out of Uranium - a possibility - there is still the possibility of generating nuclear power using Thorium, of which we have huge resources. I think India is the only country looking at Thorium.
There is also the Geothermal heat of the Earth in its various forms.
And solar power. And tidal power.
So we are OK for sources of power in the foreseeable future.
But perhaps there is a temporary problem in the supply of liquid fuels. But this may be overcome by using biofuels - more sunshine.
What else can I help you with?
Is gravitational potential energy renewable or nonrenewable?
Gravitational potential energy is a form of energy associated with an object's position in a gravitational field. It is not inherently renewable or nonrenewable as it depends on the object's position relative to the source of gravitational attraction. However, the energy can be converted to other forms such as kinetic energy or thermal energy through gravitational interactions.
What are three forms of nonrenewable energy?
Three forms of nonrenewable energy are fossil fuels (such as coal, oil, and natural gas), nuclear energy, and some sources of geothermal energy (such as high-temperature geothermal systems).
In what way does renewable energy differ from nonrenewable energy?
Renewable energy sources are derived from natural processes that are continuously replenished, such as sunlight, wind, and water. In contrast, nonrenewable energy sources, like fossil fuels, are finite and will eventually run out. Renewable energy is also more sustainable and environmentally friendly compared to nonrenewable energy sources, which produce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to climate change.
Is potential energy renewable nonrenewable or inexhaustible?
Potential energy is a type of energy that is not inherently renewable or nonrenewable. It depends on the source that provides the potential energy. For example, potential energy in the form of gravitational potential energy or elastic potential energy can be considered renewable because it can be replenished. However, potential energy stored in fossil fuels is nonrenewable as it is a finite resource.
Which describes the use of a nonrenewable energy source?
Nonrenewable energy sources are finite and once used, cannot be replaced. They include fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas, as well as nuclear energy. The use of nonrenewable energy sources contributes to environmental pollution and climate change.
Is fire nonrenewable energy?
Yes, fire is nonrenewable energy.
Are minerals nonrenewable?
Are geothermal energy nonrenewable

What are five areas that increased energy prices impact?
there are more people in the world,its nonrenewable,and there not alot of it left.
Is coal the cleanest nonrenewable energy source?
Coal is the dirties nonrenewable energy source
What does renewable energy and nonrenewable energy have in common?
both energy
Is natural gas nonrenewable source?
Natural gas is a nonrenewable energy source.
What is good about nonrenewable energy?
Nonrenewable energy sources are more reliable, having higher efficiency, and less land consuming.
What are the 3 sources nonrenewable energy?
Coal, oil, and natural gas are the main three nonrenewable primary energy sources.
Nuclear energy is a WHAT resource?
Nonrenewable
How nonrenewable energy affects the planet?
Assuming solar energy is to be classed as a renewable energy source, around 90% of the planets in our solar system are not effected at all by nonrenewable energy.
What are the major nonrenewable and renweable sources of energy?
The major nonrenewable and renweable sources of energy include oil and solar sources respectively.
