Answer:

a power plant that runs on oil

Step-by-step explanation:

A generator a power plant that runs on oil uses non-renewable sources of energy to generate electricity.

Non - renewable energy is an energy source that cannot be replenished within a short period of time. It takes geologic time scales to form such energy sources.

Oil is a fossil fuel and a non-renewable source of energy.

As it is used, the reserve is being depleted.
