Why do we still use non-renewable energy?

• It is cheaper.

• It is easier to store.

• It will never run out.

• It is better for the environment.

Answer explanation

💰 It's cheaper

Renewable energy sources can cost a lot of money to set-up. Wind turbines and solar panels are costly.

📦 It's easier to store

We cannot save renewable sources (e.g. sunlight or wind) for later. Non-renewable sources can be kept and don't need to be used immediately.
