This document compares renewable energy sources like wind and solar to a nonrenewable source, natural gas. It defines renewable resources as naturally occurring and theoretically inexhaustible, providing examples of wind and solar energy. Wind energy is harvested through turbines that convert kinetic wind energy into electrical or mechanical energy. Solar energy is harvested through solar panels that convert sunlight into electricity. Both have minimal environmental impacts but high upfront costs. In contrast, natural gas is defined as a nonrenewable resource with limited supply that cannot be replenished at the consumption rate.
