Ellews is correct (and frankly, I don't think bpaulorg's response was necessary).  A fossil fuel is the same thing as a nonrenewable resource.  Think about why gas prices are getting higher...because gas, or the oil to refine into gas, is running out, right?   Why is it running out?  Because it is a nonrenewable resource; oil is not produced, or at least isn't produced fast enough, by nature.   Hope this helps :)

I was advised not to give direct answer by one of the openstudy ambassador. Instead, ask them if they know what they are asking first, then lead them to the answer.
