Definition of renewable

Resources that can be naturally replenished or replace themselves over time

Definition of non renewable resource

Resources that can not be easily replaced once used up

They don’t run out — we can always use wind, sun, and water. They don’t pollute the Earth as much. They create new jobs for people. They help countries make their own energy. They cost less to use over time. They help protect animals and nature

Cons of renewable resources

They depend on the weather (need sun or wind). They can be expensive to set up. They need lots of space. It’s hard to store extra energy. They can sometimes harm animals

Pros of non renewable resources

Give lots of energy fast. Cheaper to use right now. Easy to use with current technology. Easy to move and store. Create many jobs.

Cons of non renewable resources

Cause pollution and harm the environment. Create greenhouse gases (climate change). Will run out someday. Can be dangerous to mine or drill. Prices go up when supplies are low.
