In the long-term, there are two major issues with this reliance on
nonrenewable energy:

 Dwindling supplies.
 Environmental pollution.

Dwindling Supplies

Nonrenewable resources, by definition, are finite and will eventually be


used up.

 Most of the easily recoverable sources of coal, oil, and natural gas
have already been tapped.
 As supplies of these resources tighten, or they become more
expensive to extract, price will increase.
