Question

Newspapers often talk about an energy crisis-about running out of certain energy sources in the not-so-distant future. About which kind of energy sources are they talking

Answer 1

Answer:

Nonrenewable energy

Explanation:

Renewable energy is also known as clean energy and it can be defined as a type of energy that are generated through natural sources or technology-based processes that are replenished constantly. Some examples of these natural sources are water (hydropower), wind (wind energy), sun (solar power), geothermal, biomass, waves etc.

Basically, a renewable energy source is sustainable and as such can not be exhausted.

On the other hand, a non-renewable energy refers to an energy source such as fossil fuels that takes a very long time to be created or their creation happened long ago and isn't likely to happen again e.g uranium.

For example, fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas, come from deep inside the Earth where they formed over millions of years ago.

In this scenario, the kind of energy the newspaper sources are talking about is a nonrenewable energy source because they are capable of being exhausted in the not-so-distant future.
