Uranium is a radioactive element. Part of the periodic table. Not organic. It was made by exploding stars mainly if my memory serves me right
ie not renewable
It's not renewable but it is fossil free.
This is going a bit too far for my old brain
Oil on the other hand is renewable. You just need to wait a while.
Oil is not, nor is coal. Oil and coal were laid down when plants died in absence of bacteria that could digest them
Now wood rots.
That's a good point. I stand corrected
Honestly, if you wait long enough, everything is. Even heavy chemical elements decay and split and break and eventually you get back to a proton and an electron (hydrogen)
No, but still fossil free (which is how the original post described it).
