Nothing is destroyed. Burning coal, oil, etc destroys what is burned. Hydroelectric power simply takes a river that is flowing and uses the power of of gravity pulling the water to a lower elevation to make electricity. It will keep happening unless the river drys up.
A nuclear fission reactor has to be refuelled at intervals with new enriched fuel and the old fuel removed. This is done in batches every two years or so, but not all of the fuel each time. Some reactors can be refuelled one channel at a time so this makes the fuel cycle more flexible.
The power generated from tidal power is theoretically never diminished. The moon will continue to make tidal currents. The only CO2 will be in the construction and maintenance of these machines.
The resource most often used is uranium, extracted from uranium ore and refined and enriched. You can replace uranium used with fresh uranium, but you can't renew the uranium source, once used it is gone, which is why nuclear energy is non renewable.
By collecting rainfall in a reservoir, there should be a continuous renewable supply of energy
Biomass can be easily renewed by eating fruits, vegetables, and drinking coffee. This type of biomass can potentially be used to power a home.

There is no nuclear power involved in a microwave unless the electricity used to power it is from a nuclear power plant.
Nuclear power plants produce electricity by using nuclear energy
Nuclear fission
How is a nuclear power plant safe?
Yes hydrogen can be easily renewed by separating it from water or extracting it from gasoline
Water power is renewed naturally by the water cycle.
Biofuel is made from vegetation and vegetable oil. This is easily renewed when more plants are grown. This should not be at the expense of food production.

nuclear power
by nuclear power ¬.¬
Nuclear power is produced through two processes: Nuclear Fission and Nuclear Fusion.
There is no nuclear power involved in a microwave unless the electricity used to power it is from a nuclear power plant.
In either case, the heat from the fuel is used to make steam which is used to turn large turbines attached to electricity generators. So whether the power plant uses fossil fuel, or nuclear fuel, the method of electricity generation is the same - the nuclear fuel is simply cleaner, more environmentally freindly, more efficient, and more easily renewed.
No. Nuclear power is not based on biology. It is based on nuclear physics.
Nuclear power plants produce electricity by using nuclear energy
It is 28% nuclear power.
