Using nuclear power as a source

Other than the navy having nuclear powered submarines and aircraft carriers (which they've had for decades) I don't think that's true in any meaningful way. The military does not supply power to the civilian grid in this country; it's almost entirely the other way.

If you want to get an idea how much power is coming from nuclear check out the fuel mix graphs here.

Nuclear energy isn't growing in this country, it's mostly stable but slightly shrinking.

A new nuke plant just came online in Georgia IIRC. First one in decades, was billions over budget.

What is the benefit of going nuclear?
