Small clarification for anyone thinking!

Strictly speaking, nuclear energy is *nonrenewable*. Most of it is done through fission of uranium, which has come about from billions of years of geologic activity and can't be replaced*

HOWEVER, it is extremely clean & safe, with minimal greenhouse gas emissions.

*But.... a lot of the "nuclear fuel waste" can be recycled, since it retains ~95% of its energy! (This isn't done in the US though, not sure why)
