Why are fossil fuels considered nonrenewable resources if they are still forming beneath the surface today?

• They are being formed as a type of methane which we cannot use.

• wind
• solar energy
• geothermal energy

Why don't we use solar energy or geothermal energy as much as we could?

• The sun and geothermal energy are limited.
• The sun and geothermal are too weak in certain areas.
• The set-up cost is too expensive.
• The machines are too large.
