Energy derived from sources other than fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas) is generally categorized as renewable or non-renewable. Renewable sources replenish naturally over a short period, including solar, wind, hydro,... Read more »
These energy sources are derived from finite resources that are consumed at a rate faster than they are replenished naturally. Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, are prime examples,... Read more »
Energy resources are categorized based on their replenishment rates. One category encompasses sources that are naturally replenished on a human timescale, such as solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass. These sources are... Read more »
Resources capable of natural replenishment within a human timescale are considered sustainable. Examples include solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass energy. Conversely, resources with finite reserves that diminish with use are unsustainable.... Read more »
