Plutonium is a heavy, radioactive, man-made, metallic element used in the production of nuclear energy.

… which obvoiusly totally outlives the short life that fossil fuels have left, and also that of nuclear energy, which by the way is also non-renewable due to it coming from a limited supply of plutonium and uranium. …

These spent fuels rods must be safely stored for at least 10000 years, or 240000 years if plutonium-239 is not removed by reprocessing. There is no agreed-upon method for storing the wastes for 10000 years, much less 240000. …

For a typical nuclear reactor with a thermal power of 4000 MW (megawatts) and an electrical power generation of 1300 MW, this corresponds to a total power production of 4250 MW, of which 250 MW is radiated away as anti-neutrino …
