Prior to the setting up of the IWC in 1946, unregulated whaling had depleted a number of whale populations to a significant extent, and several whales species were severely endangered. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) notes that the Atlantic population of gray whales was made extinct around the turn of the eighteenth century. Whaling and other threats have led to at least five of the 13 great whales being listed as endangered.

Whale oil was renewable until whales were not.

Quote:

Most of Australia’s energy is generated centrally and relies heavily on traditional energy sources, known sometimes as fossil fuels.

In fact,

around 86 percent of our electricity is generated from these fuels types, with 73 percent from coal and 13 percent from natural gas

.1 Around the world it’s much the same, with fossil fuels being used for electricity, heating and powering vehicles.

The world relies heavily on coal fired electricity generation because it’s often the cheapest form of generation. It’s also reliable and abundant. That’s what makes it difficult for renewable options, such as wind and solar, to compete in purely financial term..........
