Guide Notes:
While nuclear energy has commonly been referred to as renewable, the materials used by nuclear power plants are finite. For this reason, nuclear energy is not included in this guide except for the Web Resources section, which includes information about all energy resources. There is a separate Nuclear Energy guide, as well.
