All 3 are renewable, BUT at a much slower pace than we are using them. There is a big difference between "renewable" and "sustainable" resources. Of the 3, natural gas can be collected from landfills or sewage (manure) pits at a faster rate, and can be burned to produce limited amounts of electricity.

They are very much Renewable. Read "Black Gold ; Stranglehold" by Jerry Corse and Craig Smith, distributed by Cumberland Publishing Company. There is very Convincing Evidence that there is no such thing as "Fossil Fuel". Also, there is supposedly Proof that Petroleum has been Proven to Exist on other Planets, Asteroids, and Comets. How many Dinosaurs and what Type of Plant Life has existed elsewhere ? It actually goes much further than that. Go to http://energy21.freeservers.com/bookrep.html and http://www.fuelvapors.com.

Technically none are renewable. Once they gone they are gone. Even Food Crops, animals could die from some weird Disease and become extinct! The wave power might be considered renewable, but, I would have to believe something could render it useless. This my opinion.

Renewable. Unfortunately, in 200 years. we have significantly depleted resources that took hundreds of millions of years to create.

Hehe, technically they are "renewable". But considering it takes millions of years to "renew", and it only took us 150 years to deplete....I think they can safely be categorized as non-renewable resources, as far as humankind is concerned.

These are non-renewable resources and governments should be promoting alternative resources. They are also the source of major pollution globally.
