Nuclear Power is Equivalent to Approx. 1.6 Times the Oil from Saudi ArabiaIf you think that 7.6% doesn't sound significant, consider the following data. Saudi Arabia's annual oil production is about 410 million tons. Japan's annual energy consumption is approx. 500 million tons oil equivalent. The aggregated annual energy by nuclear power is equivalent to approx. 1.6 times the oil production of Saudi Arabia. You could easily imagine the huge amount of CO2 emissions nuclear power could save. |
