Non-renewable energy sources are energy sources that are limited to what we have right now.

What is an example of a renewable energy source?

Solar energy is one, as the sun shines everyday unless it is cloudy. Even then, clouds usually don't last very long.

What is an example of a non-renewable energy source?

Petroleum is one, as it was created millions of years ago and we cannot make more in a short time.

Are there other common examples of renewable energy?

Yes, wind and water are sources of renewable energy.
