| ikke-fornybar energikilde | non-renewable energy resource (Non-renewable resources have been built up or evolved over a geological time-span and cannot be used without depleting the stock and raising questions of ultimate exhaustibility, since their rate of formation is so slow as to be meaningless in terms of the human life-span) | |
| ikke-fornybar ressurs | non-renewable resource (A natural resource which, in terms of human time scales, is contained within the Earth in a fixed quantity and therefore can be used once only in the foreseeable future (although it may be recycled after its first use).

The most widely used source is hydroelectric power, which currently supplies some 6.6% of the world's energy needs.
