1.2.4 Consequences
The historical use of nonrenewable energy sources, often unregulated, poorly regu-
lated, inefficient, or overexploited, in contrast to renewable energy sources, has caused,
without being limited to, two consequences: (1) the increase in greenhouse gas emis-
sions and (2) the depletion of nonrenewable energy sources.
