This chart shows the top ten nuclear energy producing countries. Most people don't realize that we are number one, especially since there are countries like France which now get the majority of their power from reactors. But we have to remember that France is not only much smaller than we are but doesn't have close the industrial demand for fossil fuels that we do. Even if we only get 20% of our electricity from nuclear sources that is still a lot more than France's 78%.
