The Pacific States -- California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska and Hawaii -- are abundant in natural resources, particularly those capable of supplying energy. The states possess both renewable as well as nonrenewable resources. Different resources are present in certain areas of each of the states ...
KatarzynaBialasiewicz/iStock/GettyImages There are two major categories of resources — namely renewable and non-renewable. As opposed to non-renewable resources, which diminish with their constant use, renewable resources do not. Non-renewable resources, if not managed properly might become non-exis...
Nonrenewable energy sources have a finite existence. Chief among these are oil, natural gas, coal and uranium for nuclear power. Although theoretically the first three substances will regenerate through the same geological processes that created the resources that now exist, this process will take mi...
There are reasons for both using nonrenewable energy sources, such as fossil fuels, and for making a timely change in energy infrastructure to phase out their use. The reliability of energy derived from nonrenewable resources has provided an abundance of electricity and transportation for modern ind...

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the links between renewable energy (RE), non-renewable energy (NRE), capital, labour and economic growth, using the nonlinear autoregressive distributive lag (NARDL) model in Malaysia for the period of 1980–2018. The results of NARDL confirm the asy...

The reason that non-renewable resources are "non-renewable" is because there is a finite amount available on earth. Fossil fuels—the most commonly used resource—will eventually cease to exist on the planet if constantly consumed; this means that eventually, new, alternative energy sources will ...
Metal mining provides the elements required for the provision of energy, communication, transport and more. The increasing uptake of green technology, such as electric vehicles and renewable energy, will also further increase metal demand. However,
Alexander Kirch / EyeEm/EyeEm/GettyImages Renewable energies generate from natural sources that can be replaced over a relatively short time scale. Examples of renewable energies include solar, wind, hydro, geothermal and biomass. Nonrenewable energies come from resources that are not replaced or ar...
