1. Explain the difference between a renewable energy resource and a non-renewable energy resource.
2. Examine the diagram on Primary Energy Consumption for Major Countries. How does the US consumption of hydroelectric and nuclear energy compare to our consumption of fossil fuel? Discuss why you think this is the case.
3. Which type of energy resources are projected to increase over the next 20 years? How will this impact the environment?
Renewable energy is energy that can be used over and over, such as wind turbines and solar energy. Non-renewable energy is energy that we only have so much of, such as coal, natural gas, fossil fuels, and oil.
