France gets less than half their energy from nuclear. Don't confuse the grid with the society as a whole, with all ways energy is used.
And of course no one energizes all activities in their society with nuclear, not even France.
I will add that providing the world's approximately 20 TW of primary energy use via today's reactors would expend the estimated resource of uranium at current prices in less than 10 years. So anyone proposing a nuclear powered world is also assuming advances in either breeder reactors or uranium extraction. So the hypocrisy of ruling out renewables because they have not been proved in practice is palpable.
