They will, just as they switched from using Whale oil when it ran out but like whale oil and petroleum, it will not likely be truly renewable, it will just last longer.
If there was a new energy source, a new way to covert energy into a useful form at a low cost we would already be using it.
If we fail to find a cheaper way to use increasing amounts of energy our standard of living will decline and we will enter into a dark age that will last until we once again are able to increase our use of energy.
So can we switch? Yep no choice but we need much more energy at much lower cost and current renewables will not do that.
No the wind cannot be replaced by fossil fuels as it is non-renewable.
they are renewable resources
Renewable resources can be replenished naturally over time, like sunlight and wind. Non-renewable resources are finite and cannot be easily replaced, like fossil fuels.
Resources we cannot replace are referred to as non-renewable.
no
fossil fuels
Renewable natural resources can be replenished over time, like sunlight and wind, while non-renewable resources, such as fossil fuels, are finite and cannot be easily replaced once depleted.
Non-renewable resources, like fossil fuels, cannot be easily replaced once they are used up, while renewable resources, like solar or wind energy, can be replenished naturally and are not depleted.
Fossil fuels have never been considered renewable resources because they are formed over millions of years from the remains of ancient plants and animals. Renewable resources, like solar and wind energy, are constantly replenished and do not deplete over time like fossil fuels do.
Fossil fuels are a type of renewable resource.
nonrenewable, renewable, fossil fuels, and oil
