Abstract: Renewable energy resources or the energy income, comprises those resources which are being continuously renewed by the presence of tidal forces, wind, falling water, thermal gradients in the ocean, geothermal heat, direct solar input, the generation of vegetable and animal matter and so on. Energy capital or non-renewable energy resources, refers primarily to fossil fuels, which were deposited in earth's crust hundreds of millions of years ago or to radioactive minerals, which were present when the planet was formed. When such materials are mined, the quantity of energy capital is reduced. Actually, the fossil fuels are being replaced in nature, but at a rate which is so slow on a time scale of human development, as to be insignificant. Key words: resources, energy, renewable

Renewable energy resources are continuously renewed, while non-renewable energy resources are primarily fossil fuels, which are being replaced at a slow rate for human development.
