The point is we could reduce our overall energy consumption from petroleum if we want to make ourselves overall less dependent on petroleum. So 36% could go down to say 25%, just as an example. IF the issue is being more energy independent, there are multiple strategies we could use to do that, including upping our percentage of overall energy from nuclear ... but only if that is our goal.
It seems not to be our goal.

That is what I am asking for, an example. What is the new Nuclear plant going to replace. It is not going to replace transportation. It is not going to replace industrial feedstock. How does more electrical energy generated from nuclear power reduce oil consumption?
