The nilpotent formalism for the Dirac equation, outlined in previous papers,is applied to QED. It is shown that what is usually described as 'renormalization' is effectively a statement of the fact that the nilpotent formulation is automatically second quantized and constrains the field into producing finite values for fundamental quantities.
