How do alternate sources of energy help in conserving non-renewable resources?

Answer 1

Alternative energy sources, such as nuclear, solar, wind, and hydropower, help conserve non-renewable resources because they allow us to use less, little, or none of the non-renewable resource.

Let's just say that we only use coal to power everything. Because coal is a nonrenewable resource, we will eventually run out of it. But if, instead of coal, we used mostly renewable resources, nuclear, solar, and hydropower, there would be more coal to use.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
