Distinguish renewable energy resources from non-renewable energy resources.

Renewable energy resources are those that can be replenished naturally over time, such as solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, tidal, and biofuels. In contrast, non-renewable energy resources, like fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas) and nuclear fuel, are finite and will deplete as they are used. Understanding this distinction is crucial for making informed decisions about energy use and sustainability, as renewable resources offer a more sustainable option for meeting energy demands without the risk of depletion.
