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.
fossil fuels and natural gas
answ2. I would argue that the rare minerals are more vital, for there is no alternative to a particular element. (though approximate alternatives are often found).
Whereas there are several alternatives for the supply of energy.
There really isn't a most important resource. But, there are critical ones.
-The sun; If we didnt have the sun, earth would feeze up, and all life would die.
The sun
-Water; If we didn't have water, all living things would die.
Please take care of the Earth! Dont litter, pollute, or waste paper! Remember recyble! Turn off lights when not in use, and turn computers off when not in use.
Solar energy resource. It is the origin of solar energy, fossil energies (natural gas, coal, oil), wind energy, biomass energy, ... etc
the sun...i think :/
Solar energy.
coal
the most abundant nonrenewable source of energy is fossil fuel which had been created on our earth millions of years ago.
the sun
Coal
Hydro-Electric Power is the most renewable Energy resource that we have; while Water Still Flows.
Oil, followed by gas, hydroelectric and geothermal energy.
Tourism
oil and gas
They have both. Although not a major producer, they do have oil and gas - most of it off-shore- as a 'non-renewable' resource; and they have western winds in abundance to provide them with wind energy, a 'renewable' resource.
nonrenewable sources of energy
Oil. Natural Gas. Coal. Most timber. Gold.
gasoline
North Carolina's most important resource was originally coal. This state was a major producer of coal energy for the United States. Other important resources include wood from forests.
