The sun. Even if we do nothing to physically store the sun's energy, it is still used and consumed every single minute of the day by at least 50% of the world's surface. The amount we capture is quite insignificant compared to the amount that is actually used by the planet as a whole, never mind the amount that misses us completely.

However, in terms of the planet's resources, the unsustainable non-renewable energy resources, such as oil and coal, are by far the most-used resources today, if we exclude the natural eco-resources every living thing needs to survive: such as water, food and air.
