Answer
Renewable and non-renewable energies differ mainly in their replenishment rate and availability.
- Renewable energy sources are naturally replenished over a relatively short period, making them virtually inexhaustible. Examples include solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, and biomass energy.
- Non-renewable energy sources are finite and take millions of years to form, meaning they are consumed much faster than nature can replenish them. Once used, they are gone. Examples include fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) and nuclear energy (from uranium).
