No. Silver is a nonrenewable resource, meaning there is a limited amount of it in the earth and once it is all gone there is no more. By contrast, wood is a renewable resource as you can keep planting new trees for every one you chop down. Leather is renewable as new cattle will be bred and you will never run out of cattle. Honey is renewable. Anything that there is not a finite amount of is renewable.

DJDDAN is correct. Silver isn't naturally renewable, but we can and do recycle it. In theory, you can generate very small amounts of silver in nuclear reactors, but the quantities are so small and the side effects are so detrimental that it's absolutely impractical.

Dana-- our energy crisis cannot be solved by any ONE politician-- it will take a concerted bi-partisan Congress authorizing many different energy sources to solve our 700 billion per year oil import problem.... along with unprecedented tax incentives - and or credits to make it happen. NOTHING should be "off base"-- we need: Solar, Wind, Geothermal, Tidal, Nuclear, and more drilling where the oil and gas reserves are located. However I don't see that our current "CROP" of politicians are capable of doing this. This is really the height of insanity!
