Energy -

Non-renewable - energy that cant be replaced as fast as they are consumed.

Importance of Non-Renewable Fuel -

	Advantages	Disadvantages
Coal	More efficient, needed to make coke, lasts 300 years	High production, difficult working conditions, acid rain, expensive transport
Oil	More efficient, easier transport	Acid rain, use lots of space, lasts less time
Gas	Cleanest fossil fuel, cheaper, easy distribution	It releases methane, explosives, prices fluctuate, acid rain, and greenhouse gases.
Nuclear power	Very low GHG, reduced fossil fuels, plenty of radioactive fuel	risk of nuclear accident, remains radioactive for long time, mining is dangerous and expensive

Energy source	Advantages	Disadvantages
Hydroelectric	- NO GHG
