      Even though it certainly isn’t renewable, Uranium is not a fossil fuel. That would imply it’s made with the remains of dead organisms.

        While all power plants have a one time carbon cost to build and decommission, there is a continuous carbon cost to mining nuclear fuel. I think that’s what GP was hinting at.

        It’s even worse than fossil fuel:

        Carbondioxide has its natural circle, if we stop burning fossil fuels nature can remove carbondioxide by itself.

        This does not work for uranium or plutonium, and the pathetic tries to get it into a circle have polluted e. g. Sellafield UK and other countrisides.

      The lobby green washed it, that’s how.

      The term fossil free is just easier to accomplish, we should be using environment friendly, because that’s the goal.

      The last time i checked, producing environmental dangerous trash for millenniums isn’t environment friendly.

      Even in the best case it’s a bad solution, but now they are really really safe, not like before, trust me bro
