Btw, not "all" nuclear is not considered renewable. Making use of the full fuel life cycle through breeder reactors would count as renewable nuclear energy.
- chickenbig 1y ago> Btw, not "all" nuclear is not considered renewable. There are perhaps two things being considered here, the EU Renewable Energy Directive [1] and the EU taxonomy for sustainable activities [2]. The former results in France being fined for using nuclear power (as nuclear is not mentioned as being renewable), the latter is a tool for investment categorisation, but weights towards closed cycle and Gen III+ reactors.
