Nonrenewable Energy Resources -Fossil Fuels -A residue of plants and animals that were buried millions of years ago Coal Petroleum Natural gas
Non Renewable Energy -Forms so slowly that for practical purposes the supply is finite -Fossil Fuels -Nuclear energy
Renewable Energy -Energy that is replaced continually or at least within a human life span -Has an essential unlimited supply and is not depleted
