Fossil fuel (such as oil, petroleum, natural gas and coal) and radioactive fuel (uranium) are the most common non-renewable energy sources. These resources are indeed renewable, but the fact that it takes thousands of years to grow or generate them, makes them non-sustainable and therefore non-renewable.
