Answer:
The long term cost and benefit of renewable resources is that it is most likely a one-time purchase kind of thing. For example, if you use solar energy, you only have to buy the solar panels for your roof once. However, if you use gas oil to cook, you have to keep buying since it runs out. Sunlight doesn't run out.
The long term cost and benefit of non renewable resources is that it is something you can profit off of very easily. It will take a lot of time for people to completely switch over to renewable resources, so it is something that can steadily bring in money. Examples of non renewable resources that people constantly use is oil, gas, coal, etc.
