    Non-renewable energy is
    energy taken from "finite resources that will
    eventually dwindle becoming
    too expensive or too environmentally damaging to retrieve", as opposed to
    renewable energy sources, which "are naturally replenished
    in a relatively short period of time."
    Fossil fuels: Various types of coal are mined, such as anthracite, bituminous coal, and lignite. Petroleum forms the basis for heating oil,diesel fuel, and gasoline. Natural is commonly also referred to just as gas. It
    is mostly
    methane, and most of the additional material is removed before use as a fuel. Nuclear
