Conserving energy is very important because there is a limited amount of nonrenewable energy sources available on earth such as coal‚ oil‚ and gas. If people do not conserve the nonrenewable resources we have now‚ there might not be any left for future generations. In addition‚ energy conservation is important because when nonrenewable energy sources are consumed this impacts the environment. The combustion of oil‚ gas‚ and coal in power stations produces carbon dioxide and contributes to global

Renewable Energy Today‚ many countries mainly developed nations are dependent on non-renewable energy sources such as fossil fuels (oil and coal) and nuclear power. People call these sources‚ non-renewable energy because they cannot be regenerated or replaced once it is used. These sources are sources that exist in a limited amount on earth. University of California College (2009) state that over 85% of the energy used in the world is from non-renewable supplies. Most of countries in this
