Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Renewable energy resources refers to energy resources that can not be depleted such as wind, solar, biomass etc.

Non-renewable energy resources refers to those energy resources that can be depleted such as fossil fuels.

Globally, it has been established that energy from renewable sources costs less than energy from nonrenewable(especially fossil fuel) sources.

According to Forbes, 2019, "The worldwide weighted average cost of electricity from solar power concentration fell by 26%, that of bioenergy reduced by 14%, solar photovoltaics, geothermal, onshore, as well as offshore wind, fell by 14%, and hydropower by 12%.".

This shows us that renewable energy remains the cheapest alternative in terms of energy cost.
