​Renewable Energy

• ​Renewable energy is energy from sources that are naturally replenishing but flow-limited; renewable resources are virtually inexhaustible in duration but limited in the amount of energy that is available per unit of time.

​Non- Renewable Energy

• Non-renewable energy comes from sources that will run out or will not be replenished for thousands or even millions of year.Most sources of non-renewable energy are fossil fuels.

• Non-renewable energy comes from sources that will run out or will not be replenished in our lifetimes—or even in many, many lifetimes.
