I guess you never heard of a breeder reactor? ;)

I have. But most or all of the fuel used in commercial reactors comes from mines.
It is not renewable, at least in practice.
Of course, if they could get nuclear fusion to work, that would be an almost endless supply of energy, although not technically renewable, because the hydrogen would be used up.

No? When one puts uranium in a breeder one take out Plutonium. Plutonium produces mores energy than the original uranium ;)

So, what commercial nuclear reactor uses Plutonium from breeder reactors as fuel?
