Yeah, sounds like they are confusing their terms and just using "renewable"

as a catch-all for "clean."

Nuclear isn't renewable, but it is clean...or at least the pollutants can be captured, processed, and stored instead of dumped into the air or water.

But biodiesel, for example, is renewable but isn't clean until you run the exhaust through some extra processing. Even at it's cleanest, the byproducts are still water and carbon dioxide (vs. just steam from a nuclear plant).

Lounge engineers, what do you think about this technology? -- EDGEMAN 12/17/2019 07:24AM

Might as well join em.... Go to China and check out the mess of nuclear -- MilwaukeeHokie 12/17/2019 11:10AM

They have to work on the flux capacitor though ** -- fordham 12/17/2019 10:34AM

Full steam ahead! -- MAHokie69 12/17/2019 10:31AM

Since I'm not an engineer, I think it looks delicious. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 12/17/2019 10:22AM

Hope it comes about... -- hokiehunter07 12/17/2019 10:21AM

Wonder what's the cost difference between nuclear or solar for data centers -- PhotoHokieNC 12/17/2019 10:31AM

I favor larger centralized reactors, like Byron, for base load capacity. ** -- scoop76cs 12/17/2019 10:14AM

Might fit in my crawl space if I moved the Festivus pole. ** -- tongahokie 12/17/2019 10:11AM

Does your MILF on a Shelf dance on that pole? ** -- B777Fr8Dog 12/17/2019 10:14AM

Only when we’re done with the airing of grievances. ** -- tongahokie 12/17/2019 10:33AM

Speaking of energy production, I've wondered if someone has thought... -- EDGEMAN 12/17/2019 09:42AM

Gonna be a run on Flux Capacitors ** -- B777Fr8Dog 12/17/2019 09:23AM

TMSR is a much better option. ** -- MCL3 Hokie 12/17/2019 09:06AM

Remember seeing "Split wood, not atoms" bumper stickers in .... -- scoop76cs 12/17/2019 10:12AM

In the Cold War they were trying to put reactors in everything -- typed by ben 12/17/2019 08:04AM

Great for developing countries that need power ** -- CaryHokie 12/17/2019 07:56AM

I did not know that nuclear power is considered "renewable". Seems to me -- UTPr0sim 12/17/2019 07:49AM

Article was from Oregon. If they're calling it a renewable... ** -- EDGEMAN 12/17/2019 07:55AM
