According to the chart, most of the energy used in the United States comes from -

• renewable resources

• solar power

• nonrenewable resources

• wind energy

Fossil fuels are considered nonrenewable because they -

• take millions of years to form

• can easily be replaced by humans

• cause pollution when burned

• burn up at a faster rate than renewable resources
