The following articles provide information on non-renewable resources and the effects of their use. 1. 'Non-Renewable Resources: An Overview' (National Geographic) This article provides an overview of non-renewable resources, their sources, their usage, and the environmental impacts of their extraction and use. It also provides an overview of the various forms of energy derived from non-renewable resources, such as fossil fuels, nuclear energy, and geothermal energy. 2. 'What Are Non-Renewable Resources and Why Are They Important?' (ThoughtCo) This article explains the definition of non-renewable resources, their sources, and why they are important. It also discusses the environmental impacts of their use and extraction, as well as the consequences of their depletion. 3. 'Non-Renewable Resources: Pros and Cons' (EcoWatch) This article provides an overview of the advantages and disadvantages of non-renewable resources, such as their availability and affordability, as well as their environmental impacts. It also discusses the potential for renewable energy sources to replace non-renewable resources. 4. 'Non-Renewable

Earlier this week, China’s ruling Communist party met in a plenary session and developed recommendations for the nation’s 15th five year plan, which would run through 2030. There are many aspects of the recommendations that could be explored in more depth, but several of the recommendations are specifically relevant to clean technology. Regardless of how you feel about China or their political system, they lead in many aspects of renewable energy and electric vehicles, and their national plans have global implications.In looking through the coverage, much of it seemed to focus on the outline bullet points, without the underlying context. As a result, they often added in assumptions that did not reflect the actual recommendations. As the recommendations were published (toward the bottom of the page), the most relevant sections to cleantech are quoted below. I added a few notes, but found it interesting to see the actual recommendation text, starting with the economy and manufacturing:“It was noted that we should build a modernized industrial system and reinforce the foundations of the real economy. To this end, we should keep our focus on the real economy, continue to pursue smart, green, and integrated development, and work faster to boost China's strength in manufacturing, product quality, aerospace, transportation, and cyberspace. The share of manufacturing in the national economy should be kept at an appropriate level, and a modernized industrial system should be developed with advanced manufacturing as the backbone. We should upgrade traditional industries, foster emerging industries and industries of the future, promote high-quality, efficient development in the service sector, and develop a modernized infrastructure system.”
