    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?
