Electricity is only 28% of global emissions.
If the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) has accurately estimated the planet's economically accessible uranium resources, reactors could run more than 200 years at current rates of consumption.
Nuclear energy now provides about 10% of the world’s electricity from about 445 power reactors.
This isn't hard math.

Produce hydrogen for shipping or CO2 free steel? Electricity. Charge everyones car battery? Electricity. So on, right? > This isn't hard math.
