How could we develop nonrenewable energy resources?

Question

Including petroleum, coal, natural gas, and uranium

Answer 1

Drill more oil! Dig more coal. Build more gas pipelines from places like the north slope.

Answer 2

I do not believe the 4 items you have named are renewable.  It took mother nature several thousands of years to make those items.

Renewable = wind, solar, corn, garbage and many others.

Answer 3

Mother nature with the aid of the plants are recycling the fossil fuels very quickly. We will never run out as long as we keep the plants alive.

Answer 4

In northern Canada and Siberia there are enormous deposits of methane plus methane hydrate that would supply most of the energy supplies for 200 years.

For the Canadian zone, the company Petro-Canada owns most of the rights to these reserves, so one would buy Petro-Canada (PCA-T stock to own  a share of it. But thus far Petro-Canada is still at an early planning stage and will need to raise cash to bring this to Market.

Saskatchewan is mining some large deposits of Uranium already, Smaller amounts in Manitoba and Ontario. (Some of the Ontario deposits are on land claimed by Native communities.)

Venezuela has enormous reserves of high-carbon or bituminous heavy oil. They are in no hurry to get rid of it, so one would have to be prepared to pay top dollar.
