Okay, so regarding natural resources...
The CFAI text says that the supply of a nonrenewable resource (oil) is perfectly elastic, while the supply of the renewable resource (wind) is perfectly inelastic.
How is this possible? A nonrenewable resource, by definition, has a finite supply (albeit in the ground), whereas a renewable resource has an unlimited supply. For instance, if I wanted to harness wind for electrical power, I could always build more wind farms.
