    but by the time that it’s no longer viable the Earth will be long gone as well

    But that’s exactly the “problem”, there’s enough fertile material for potential millions of years of consumption, and that’s for fission alone.

    I think the debacle is more because the definition of “renewable” is a little arbitrary than the dilemma if nuclear is renewable or not

      I think we both agree on fertile material as discussed in another comment, the longevity issue is mostly with conventional LWRs burning up our fuel rapidly.

      I’m just being pedantic about the sun, lol
