Nuclear Energy production
Did you know that nuclear energy accounts for more energy produced than the average individual believes?
As of 2004, nuclear power provided 6.5 percent of the world's
energy and 15.7 percent of the world's electricity. The U.S.,
France, and Japan accounted for 57 percent of the nuclear
electricity generated world-wide. Nuclear energy accounts for about
19 percent of the total electricity generated in the United States,
which is almost comparable to all of the electricity used in
California, Texas, and New York combined. In France, nuclear power
is the most widespread, supplying 80 percent of the country's
electricity.
