655 - What is the difference between renewable and non-renewable energy sources?

Imagine you have two types of energy sources:

1. Renewable energy sources are like a magic refill bottle. They can be refilled naturally and never run out, such as sunlight, wind, water, and geothermal (heat from the earth).
2. Non-renewable energy sources are like a single-use water bottle. They will eventually run out, such as coal, oil, and gas.
