The majority comes from Natural Gas, Coal, Nuclear and Renewables.

I'm thinking bigger than that.
We get 20% of our electricity from nuclear.  Very few countries do more than us.  But France gets 70% from 
nuclear! There is no reason we can't aspire to get to France's level in the coming decades.  Nuclear jobs are good jobs.  We could and should get so good at building nuclear that the Indias and Nigerias of the world are calling us, trying to get us to build and supply plants for them! Today they call South Korea.

Nobody wants them near them though. Having some brief experience, it is done as safe as possible. The main issue right now, at least in the US, the technology is very old. They are limited in what they can do after the plant is built. A lot is still paper based and communications are usually nonexistent in most of the onsite buildings.


I wouldn't want one near me but that really goes for any plant.
