WINDPOWER -For instance, wind and solar energy production require a significant amount of land to generate sufficient electricity needed to supply the power grid with...
SOLAR-Like geothermal energy, solar power is often used as a direct heat source and electricity generator. Wind: Utilizes turbines to convert the wind's kinetic..
NONRENEWABLE
COAL-cComes from the remains of plants that died hundreds of millions of years ago.
OIL-Also known as petroleum – can be extracted and refined in order to make products such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel.
The difference between these two types of resources is that renewable resources can naturally replenish themselves while nonrenewable resources cannot. This means that nonrenewable resources are limited in supply and cannot be used sustainably.
