Renewable resources are resources that can be used over and over again, like solar energy and wind power. Nonrenewable resources are resources that cannot be used over and over again, like coal and oil. We need to be careful with both types of resources so that they don't run out!
Renewable and Nonrenewable Resources

Renewable Energy: Renewable energy is energy that comes from natural resources like sunlight, wind, water, and geothermal heat, which are constantly replenished. Examples of renewable energy sources include solar, wind, hydropower, and biomass. Nonrenewable Energy: Nonrenewable energy is energy that comes from resources that will eventually run out, such as oil, coal, and natural gas. These resources take millions of years to form and are being used much faster than they can be replenished. Conservation: Conservation is an important part of using renewable and nonrenewable energy sources wisely. Conservation includes using energy efficiently and finding ways to reduce energy use, such as turning off lights when not in use or using public transportation.

Renewable energy sources, such as hydropower and wind power, produce almost 75% of the world's electricity. Fuel cells are a type of renewable energy source that can be used to power cars. Nonrenewable energy sources, such as coal and natural gas, are still used to generate most of the world's electricity.
