Energy Resources
ENERGY RESOURCE PLAN
Conserving energy is important to our society because it can extend the life time of non-renewable resources. Examples of these are oils, coal , and gas. It also minimizes the use of larger more dangerous and environmentally damaging sources ,such as deep sea oil and tar deposits. Currently the world produces 20 million barrels of oil each year. One-third of that is used by the United Sates. Concidering that only %35 of an oil well can be recoverd one-third is a lot to consume. We need to not only create renewable resources but use them. The difference between non-renewable and renewable resource is that a non-renewable resource is a natural resource such as coal,gas, or oil that once consumed ,can not be replaced. Renewable resource is a resource that can be renewed as quickly as it is used , in theory, last indefinitely.
