	Literally 'to make new again', a renewable [[resource]] is one that is naturally replenished with time, like the growth of new organisms or natural recycling of materials. Renewable energy is any [[energy]] production which uses one of these resources. Renewable resources do not have a fixed quantity - more can always be generated. However, if the rate of use exceeds the rate of renewal - that is, the source is used more than it's being recreated - its continued use will become unsustainable.

	Resources are considered non-renewable if they take a very long time to be created (e.g. [[fossil fuel]]s) or if their creation happened long ago and is not likely to happen again (e.g. [[uranium]]). [[~~Flow~~]]s are almost always renewable. On the other hand, [[biofuel]]s are renewable and definitely count as [[fuel]]s.
