A solution is sustainable because something can eat the waste. In fact, there is no "waste" in a sustainable solution.

They write about biological nutrients, and about technical nutrients. You can't mix them. Each kind of nutrient goes through a full circle cycle again and again, and it sustains us.

Plutonium is not either kind of nutrient.
This is clearly a double standard, last I checked nothing eats steel either (nor is it a nutrient) or any elemental material either. And steel is pretty much the primary building material in the structures that renewable sources are built from except PV which uses their own mix of toxic chemicals.
