A majority of Americans (57%) say they favor more nuclear power plants to generate electricity in the country, up from 43% who said this in 2020.

When asked about the federal government’s role, 41% of Americans say it should encourage the production of nuclear power.

Let’s get those new construction contracts signed!

    I dunno if I’m right but here’s what I did:

    1. I googled “total global yearly energy production” for the 617 EJ
    2. I googled “what percentage of energy comes from nuclear globally” for the 10%.
    3. The “67,500 tons/year” and “6 million tons recoverable” came from the article you provided.

    The rest is arithmetic.

      Your screenshot literally says electricity in the url, not energy.

      You’re now actively pretending to not understand the distinction rather than reading your own sources. Why double down when it’s already very obvious what you’re doing?

        Yes, that’s where I got the 10% from. Do you think I should use a different percentage?
