the only planet that is known to make nuclear power at this point is earth.
A Star converts hydrogen into energy by nuclear fusion. A planet does not
Nuclear energy is powerful, and not to mention that it is renewable. it's not a bad thing.
It's bad for all ages!
Mainly that no good solution has been found to dispose of the nuclear wastes.
Uranium is just like nuclear energy
some bad uses are nuclear bombs.
Actually it is good and bad. Nuclear energy can save many people lives but in can be used as nuclear weapons which are super dangerous. resulting in explosions.
Just like any other energy can be bad - fire can burn, electricity can shock... Nuclear energy can have harmful radiations that can damage without proper precautions. In addition, there are no very satisfying alternatives at present for disposing of nuclear waste, so proceeding with heavy nuclear energy development is a bet that the future will find good solutions.
No, nuclear energy is not renewable nor sustainable. For nuclear fission to work, it requires a special type (isotope) of uranium. There is a finite amount of uranium on the planet, therefore this is not renewable. Also, the nuclear waste produced is not sustainable. An example of renewable energy would be a wind turbine.
The reason nuclear energy is most efficient today is, because with little it can create a hundred times more. For instance, Japan's entire economy is constructed on nuclear energy. Even if they have suffered, because of some inconveniences, before that they use to be the leading economical giant. In general nuclear energy is the most efficient resource on the planet, right now.
A planet cannot become a star. A star is an object that is massive enough to release energy via nuclear fusion. A planet is much less massive.
