The widely used energy sources that are nonrenewable and also a source of greenhouse gas emissions are:
1. Fossil fuels: Fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas are nonrenewable sources of energy that are formed from the remains of plants and animals that lived millions of years ago. When these fossil fuels are burned for energy, they release carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, contributing to global warming and climate change.
These energy sources are not sustainable in the long term as they are finite resources and their combustion leads to harmful environmental impacts. In contrast, renewable energy sources like wind turbines and solar cells generate electricity without producing greenhouse gas emissions, making them more environmentally friendly options for the future.
