No, but for all intents and purposes, it is limitless.
Also, it releases no greenhouse gases and the only nuclear waste is the parts of the reactor itself.
It's not actually limitless, but its fuels are so abundant/easy to synthesise we would never be able to completely use them up.
The fusion efficiency of the new technology for renewable energy production is currently being researched and tested to determine its effectiveness in generating sustainable energy.
Nuclear fusion is not renewable. It requires hydrogen nuclei as an energy source, and once these have been used in fusion they are not naturally replenished. In fact, fusion power has a very high energy change, rendering it near impossible to reverse the process. A star, for example, is powered by nuclear fusion, and will eventually die out due to a lack of hydrogen.
Nuclear energy
Nonrenewable, eventually the oceans will run out of extractable deuterium. But thatt probably won't happen for a few million years.
Radiant energy, such as sunlight, is considered renewable because it is continually produced by natural processes, like the sun's nuclear fusion reactions, and is inexhaustible on human timescales. As long as the sun continues to shine, we can harness its energy for power generation without depleting its source.
Nuclear Fusion
If it could be done it would be similar to renewable. (it is what the Sun does and Sunlight is looked at as renewable energy).

- Fossil fuel energy sources (coal-natural gas - petroleum - wood) - Nuclear energy sources (fission - fusion). Nuclear energy may be considered as renewable energy source.
Yes, nuclear fusion is considered a potentially renewable energy source because it utilizes abundant sources of fuel (such as hydrogen isotopes) that are readily available on Earth. Additionally, fusion reactions produce no greenhouse gas emissions and generate significantly more energy than traditional nuclear fission.
Nuclear energy
Plasma itself is not an energy source like solar or wind energy. However, innovative technologies are being developed to harness energy from plasma, such as fusion reactors. These reactors could potentially provide a renewable and clean energy source in the future.
Basically atomic energy is a non renewable resource. The source of the energy is the supernova that exploded close to where earth was formed and the atomic energy has been running down ever since. However if man could harness nuclear fusion (which he has not done in the field of energy generation to date) then this too would be a non renewable resource but it would last man for as long as it mattered.
The sun is described as a renewable source because it continuously produces energy through nuclear fusion reactions, which will continue for billions of years. This means that we can rely on the sun as a source of energy that will never run out.
Nonrenewable, eventually the oceans will run out of extractable deuterium. But thatt probably won't happen for a few million years.
Renewable energy can't run out. Non-renewable energy WILL run out. Renewable energy is produced at a constant rate, non-renewable is not. Renewable energy is free when the generator is built, non-renewable is not. Renewable energy does not cause pollution (with the exception of biofuels), non-renewable energy does.
