If nuclear energy is renewable is it maintained or sustained?
It is not renewable. There is a fixed amount of fuel on earth and it cannot be increased. Even when people talk of breeder reactors, they are only breeding fissile fuel from non-fissile material, which is itself non-renewable.
Why is nuclear waste renewable?
Nuclear waste is NOT renewable. It is typically buried and sealed off because of its non-usability and the radiation damage that can afflict people from being in the vicinity of nuclear waste.
Why do people use fossil fuels instead of renewable energy?
Although renewable energy sources are better for the planet, they are not so good for your pocket. Solar panels etc. can cost alot of money to install, but governments are slowly introducing a rebate or cash back for people who do turn to renewable energy.
What is the worst thing about nuclear energy?
The worst thing about nuclear energy is that it can kill people.

What are features of conventional and non conventional sources of energy in India?
India is the fourth largest producer of electricity, but some people in India still do not have access to electricity. 88% of their power plants use non renewable fuel and 12% use renewable fuel. Thermal, hydroelectric and renewable, and nuclear power are used, with nuclear being the fourth-largest source after the others listed. India is a leader in wind generation and number one in terms of solar energy production per watt installed.
Why do most people use nonrenewable energy instead of renewable resources?
Cost. If there was an alternative that was cost effective the free market would embrace it. Unfortunately there is no cost effective solution. Hold on to your wallets because the solution will be to raise current energy costs to "level" it with more expensive "renewable" sources.
Does uranium contain more energy than coal?
yes uranium contains a lot more energy than coal and that is one of the reasons that people prefer nuclear power to fossil fuel power but like coal uranium is not! renewable
Why isn't nuclear fuel contributing to global warming?
Nuclear power does not emit carbon dioxide greenhouse gas as the other non-renewable sources of energy (the fossil fuels of coal, oil and natural gas) do, so it doesn't contribute to global warming. Many people think nuclear power is an energy source that we should all be using because of this. Others remember the dangers from nuclear accidents and are not so convinced.
Why is natural gas described as a non renewable source of energy?
Once fossil fuels have been used up, they can not be replaced, as they took millions of years to naturally develop. Therefore, they are classed as non-renewable. This is why people are trying to find alternatives that are renewable - nuclear power stations, wind farms, tidal and hydroelectric generating schemes, etc.
