It's not even "renewable" since it depends on toxic and increasingly rare elements to operate.

You say that it takes a long time to recover from a nuclear accident, even though these two accidents haven't killed as many people as will die in the next two days from air pollution.

How long, do you think, it will take to recover from the destruction of the planetary atmosphere?

Do you have any idea of the magnitude of the engineering difficulty of removing carbon dioxide from the planetary atmosphere?

Anti-nukes with their specious and selective attention, frankly, disgust me at this point.

Have a nice week.
