France produces so much nuclear energy that it actually exports energy and makes a profit!

Nuclear energy supplies electricity to more than 60 million homes each year, according to the Clean and Safe Energy Coalition. More than 100 commercial nuclear power plants produce 20 percent of all the electricity in the United States.

One of the major advantages to nuclear energy is that it has very little impact on the environment.

Electricity produced with nuclear power is also significantly cheaper than electricity produced by burning coal or fossil fuels.

According to the University of Wisconsin Madison, France produces so much nuclear energy that it actually exports energy and makes a profit.

Coal power plants give off more radiation than nuclear power plants do. Radiation from nuclear power plants has not caused any deaths aside from the Chernobyl accident in Ukraine.
