The Friends of the Environment :'): Non-renewable energy

The non-renewable energy is one that is obtained from sources that in the short or long term, can be exhausting, examples: Oil, coal, natural gas, uranium and oil. The non-renewable sources of energy are currently the most widely used. Fossil fuels (oil, coal and natural gas) are strongly polluters: releasing carbon dioxide when burned, a gas that contributes to the increase in temperature of the atmosphere, causing acid rain, polluting soil and water.

Oil:

- Oil is a fossil fuel, produced in some areas of the Earth's subsurface. It is the main source of energy today. It is easy to transport, but potential cause of environmental disasters.

Natural gas:

-It found, generally, from oil reserves. It's cheaper and less polluting fossil fuels, but more difficult to extract.

Coal:

- It is one of the most abundant sources of energy but also one of the most polluting

Nuclear fuels:

- A kilogram of uranium is able to produce as much energy as one million pounds of coal. It is a source of radioactivity, and it is very dangerous and complicated use.
