Renewable is an incredibly dumb term.

You know what was renewable, using whale oil. That's very renewable in fact, but somehow most people are against running the global economy on whale oil.

Fission is incredibly sustainable in the long term. In fact, even if we mined all the easily expressible thorium volcanic activity actually continuously brings up more.

It's simply a label. Renewables are great because of their specific attributes, like cost and no CO2 emission, not because they are "renewable".

Yes, and my point is, its a bad label.
