Uranium is considered a finite material, so I don’t think it can be labeled renewable!

Why is that? Now, keep in mind that I’m solidly in solar’s corner and don’t necessarily want nuclear plants in my backyard, but it is renewable, is it not?

Page 5 of the report here has a table of “Generation Capacity Additions and Retirements (September 2024 – August 2027)” that cites 212 GW of solar additions.

That is an astounding number, and I would love to see how you came to it.
