That is true, but wind and solar do not change because we do use them, they will occur anew. Nuclear material does not reappear (within our system on earth). So the entropy increases for wind and solar anyways, while much slower for uranium under normal circumstances.
- tomp 10y ago"Solar" is just nuclear on the sun.
- TuringTest 10y ago> "Solar" is just nuclear on the sun. Which comes with the desirable property of solving the problem of radioactive waste storage, as waste is stored in a very convenient place far away from any human dwelling.
- pm90 10y agoWell, the "nuclear" process in the sun is fusion, which does not (AFAIK) generate any wastes dangerous to life/environment.
- maxerickson 10y agoThe containment system will become radioactive. Not as bad as the spent fuel from fission but not zero waste either. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion_power#Waste_management https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion_power#Waste_management
- drakonandor 10y agoDon't wind turbines have minor effects on climate because of the wind they slow down?
