Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oil shale is not considered a renewable energy resource because it is a type of unconventional petroleum deposit that requires mining and significant processing to produce usable fuels. Unlike geothermal energy, biomass, and landfill methane, which are replenished naturally on a human timescale, oil shale extraction relies on finite resources that do not regenerate within a human lifespan.
