Explanation

Non-renewable energy sources:

• Oil
  
• Nuclear energy
• Petroleum
• Natural gas & coal

Renewable sources of energy:

• Solar energy
• Wind energy
• Hydroelectric power
• Biomass energy
• Geothermal energy
• Tidal energy

Explanation

Coal, gas, and oil are all examples of fossil fuels, which are energy resources formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals over millions of years.

Fossil fuels are non-renewable sources of energy.

Additional Information:

• Tidal energy is energy generated from ocean tides
• Nuclear energy is energy generated from the nucleus of atoms
• Biomass energy is energy generated from organic matter (plants, wood, waste)

Explanation

Oil and gas are not renewable energy sources. 

They are fossil fuels that deplete over time and take millions of years to form.

The renewable energy sources are:

• Water energy
• Wind energy
• Tidal energy
• Hydroelectric
• Ocean energy
• Geothermal energy
• Biomass
• Biogas

The non-renewable energy sources are:

• Fossil fuels or Hydrocarbon fuel (Oil, Natural gas, Coal)
• Nuclear energy
