Uranium

How do you know

Uranium is a nonrenewable energy resource because it is a finite material that cannot be replenished within a human lifetime. Once uranium is mined and used as a fuel for nuclear reactors, it is consumed and cannot be easily replaced. In contrast, renewable energy resources like biomass, wind, hydro, tidal, geothermal, and solar power can be replenished naturally and are not depleted with use.
