Renewable and Non-renewable Sources of Energy
Fossil fuels ( coal, oil, gas) result from a transformation of plant and animal
material over millions of years. The solar energy originally stored in the plant or
animal is eventually converted into energy stored in the plant or the fossil fuel. The
fuels are being used at an enormously rapid rate.
Fossil fuels and fuels like uranium are “spent” once they are used to obtain
energy. These are called non-renewable sources of energy.
Although new plants can be planted that eventually turn to coal, the process takes
millions of years and that is why coal and other fossil fuels are considered non-renewable.
Solar and wind energy arrive and circulate air on the Earth everyday. These
sources are called renewable. Wood and trees used as fuel are called renewable,
because they can be replanted.
Energy availability and use are good indicators of the standard of living. In the
USA the “average consumption” per head is 55 barrels of oil per year, in poorer
countries the consumption is 6 barrels.(844)
