Nonrenewable resources: from at time scales much slower than which they are used: anything that forms at geologic rates and consumed at current human rates is nonrenewable. ***basically anything that takes a geologic process to form. Solar nuclear fusion, the pull of gravity, nuclear fission reactions, earth"s internal energy, energy in chemical bonds (stored from solar energy) At the same time, we have seen dramatic population growth: in 1800, the world population was 1 billion. This means we"re going to use a lot more stuff! Renewables: 45% biomass, 22% wind, 2% geothermal, 23% hydroelectric, 8% solar. What we use in the united states, as of 2018: 36% petroleum, 31% natural gas, 13% coal, 8% nuclear power, and 11% renewables.
