Nuclear Power - Country Comparison

The United States is reported to be the top supplier of Nuclear Energy in the world but this generation source only makes up about 1/5 of our country's energy supply for energy use.
Many European countries reacted to the Oil Crisis of 1970, and France's response was to invest in nuclear power. We all know about France's love for nuclear power, and this form of energy is still the top energy source for electricity in France.
Nuclear definitely has its pros: end of foreign dependence on oil, reduction in carbon emissions due (when comparing to fossil fuel sources). Cons: It still requires a lot of capital, real estate, transmission costs, and is environmentally dangerous. Nuclear energy is expensive because of all the waste it generates, although many companies are making cleaner, more efficient generators. I am still a stronger advocate for wind and solar generation, but this is still a very controversial and highly disputed topic.
