== No, and yes. As there is a finite amount of matter in the universe, only so much can be converted to make energy. There will be a limit, though it is a long, long way from where we are. At some point, all the matter might be converted into energy, and then we would have exhausted our supply of fusionable material. If we fission matter, we run out of energy sooner. If we fission what we fuse, we lose energy. Either way, fission won't last as long as fusion. Most of the universe is made up of hydrogen (dark matter aside), and with that much hydrogen around, we could power up fusion reactors for eons. (Stars are exactly this kind of fusion reactor.) Practically speaking, the limit may not be reachable in the lifetime of the universe as we know it. That's pretty close to an inexhaustable supply of nuclear energy.

∙ 14y agoCurrently, no. Within 5 years, probably. Scientists have found a form of bacteria which as a by-product of its natural feeding, can produce a gasoline derivative. They feed it wood chips and it produces petroleum. I would say within 10 years, we're going to bankrupt the Middle East. I can't WAIT.

What is it when energy is released through fission or fusion?
Nuclear energy
What is Uranium energy used for?
Uranium is used as nuclear fuel in nuclear reactors.
Does nuclear energy have kinetic or potential energy?
Nuclear energy is a kind of potential energy.
Why is tidal energy inexhaustible?
Tidal energy is an nonpolluting inexhaustible energy source. However, its use is limited because it needs a large bay or estuary with a narrow outlet to the sea where there is fast moving water. There are not many suitable locations around the world for tidal power technology as it exists today.
Nuclear energy that is used to power nuclear powerplants?
Nuclear energy generated by nuclear fissions of nuclear fuels.
How could nuclear energy which is normally classified as nonrenewable be reclassified as an inexhaustible?

Is fission energy inexhaustible?
Yes, it could be viewed as inexhaustible through use of breeder nuclear reactors that can produce more fuel that what is consumed.
Can nuclear energy be classified as inexhaustible?
Nuclear energy from uranium fission is not inexhaustible, because there is only a certain amount on Earth and we cannot recreate or manufacture it. There might be supplies elsewhere in the solar system but we don't know. If nuclear fusion can be successfully developed, and this uses deuterium from the oceans, then there would indeed be an almost inexhaustible source of energy, at least there is plenty there to last mankind for many thousands of years. (That does not make it renewable though!)
Examples of inexhaustible resource?
some inexhaustible resources are wind, water and the sun (solar power)
What is a good way to but this in a sentence wind energy is inexhaustible?
Wind energy is inexhaustible.
How could nuclear energy which is classified as a nonrenewable energy resource be reclassified as an inexhaustible energy resource?
Nuclear energy is a non-renewable source since there is a very tiny amount of Uranium-235, whose fission results in nuclear energy. If a more abundant element could be used in nuclear reactors, such as, say, nitrogen or oxygen, it would effectively become inexhaustible. However, current technology does not allow for this since these atoms are too small to be accurately and repetitively bombarded (which is a key part of the fission process).
Is nuclear eneregy inexhaustible?
Most nuclear power plants use uranium. Once the uranium is use it can never be used again. The earth has a lot more power in buried uranium then in buried oil. Also bringing back 150KG of uranium from mars is a lot easier then bringing back 15000000gal(exact figures unknown) of oil from mars. both have the same amount of power. Is in inexhaustible, no. Pretty close to being inexhaustible, Yes
Is radiant energy renewable or nonrenewable or inexhaustible?
Energy from the sun is classified as renewable, inexhaustible....
Is electrical energy nonrenewable renewable or inexhaustible?
inexhaustible and renewable
Is nuclear power renewable nonrenewable or inexhaustible?
Nuclear power is non-renewable
Is graphite inexhaustible?
No. nothing is inexhaustible except perhaps the energy of the vacuum.
