Plastics can be recycled over and over, whether they are made from crude fossil fuel oil, or renewable vegetable oil. So in this sense they are sustainable. The earth has a limited supply of crude oil, but when that runs out there will still be some fossil fuel plastics to be recycled.
None renewable or fossil fuel
The international space station makes use of solar power.
So long as there is a supply of fuel, yes.
to help pay for line maintenance, employees, and cost of fuel.

The furnace/boiler.
away from urban areas and less distance from fossil fuel areas to power station
Nuclear energy conserves the use of fossil fuel because if there is a nuclear power station there is no need to burn fossil fuel in that region.
This is typical of nuclear plants where the fuel costs are low compared with fossil fuel costs.
Chemical > Thermal > Kinetic > Electrical
Nuclear power is NOT a fossil fuel.
The difference is only the material that is being used to generate electricity.
1. Heat energy is produced by burning fossil fuel in a furnace or from the fission of uranium in nuclear or by hot gas in a gas-fired power station
A fossil fuel power plant is a system of devices for the conversion of fossil fuel energy to mechanical work or electric energy
A nuclear station uses the energy from nuclear fission to generate power, but fossil fuel stations burn fossil fuels that release CO2 into the atmosphere, instead of the steam that nuclear plants produce. Therefore, nuclear power is more enviormental friendly, though it has some very radioactive waste products that can be harmful if not disposed properly.
In cars and trucks (oil), and in power stations (coal, oil and natural gas) to generate electricity.
