\nRenewable energy sources are those that are naturally replenished on a human timescale. Non-renewable energy sources are finite and are depleted faster than they can be replenished.
\n<\/section>\n
\nSolar energy, wind energy, and hydroelectric energy are all derived from natural processes that are continuously replenished (sunlight, wind currents, water cycles) and are thus considered renewable. Nuclear energy typically relies on the fission of heavy radioactive elements like uranium or plutonium, which are mined from the Earth and exist in finite quantities. While nuclear fuel sources are substantial, they are not naturally replenished at a rate comparable to their consumption, making nuclear energy generally classified as non-renewable, although it is a low-carbon energy source.
\n<\/section>\n
\nOther renewable energy sources include geothermal energy, biomass energy, and tidal energy. Examples of non-renewable energy sources include fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) and nuclear fuels.
