Non-Renewable Energy

Energy that is produced using methods that are not sustainable.

This process requires a raw material that is finite and will eventually run out, prime examples being fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas. Nuclear energy should also be included as it relies on the mining of uranium.
