Nonrenewable – longer than a human lifetime to form.

Fossil Fuels are nonrenewable because they take millions of years to form.

(If we use trees faster than they are growing, they are still a renewable resource)

National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska  Technically recoverable, undiscovered oil - 9.3

billion barrels. An estimated 1.3 to 5.6 billion barrels of those

technically recoverable oil resources is economically recoverable at market prices of $22 to $30 per barrel.

Technically recoverable, natural gas for the same area - 59.7 trillion cubic feet. - USGS, 2002

We NEED energy. The FORM of energy and the FUELS we use to create convenient energy are a matter of choice.

Net energy is the energy provided by the resource (fuel) minus the energy required to produce the fuel.

Thermodynamics #1 – energy is neither created or destroyed, it just changes form.

Thermodynamics #2 – every time energy changes form, some is lost to the surrounding environment; energy generally becomes less organized as it changes form.

Mining Steam injection Refining Requires

significantly more energy than petroleum extraction
