You are correct, Diss, there are actually no "renewables" - the Second Law of Thermodynamics forbids such a thing. Physics 101.
But "renewables" is often used as shorthand for energy that is (b) fashionable to talk about, or that (c) releases little CO2 compared to a thermal plant burning coal.
Language is imprecise, especially when religion and politics motivate ever-greater imprecisions.
Collectifission (nprofile…xzms) is using "renewable" in the sense of (c) to describe nuclear, and is quite correct to do so. His intended audience understand "renewable" in the senses of (b) and (c), and he is working to persuade them.
Somebody has to, if living standards are not to collapse back to 1700, and that surely isn't your skill set, Dissident Sound (nprofile…8jf4)!
