The only problem with this assertion is that I didn't make a mistake
with the information.

Oh come on.

You tried to alter the framework of the discussion from electricity
generation to energy in general to try to imply that nuclear generation
wasn't important because it represented only a small part of total energy
production.

While the figures may or may not be correct, one must also take into account
that one objective is to take fossil fuels steadily out of the equation,
whether they are directly delivered to the point of use (i.e. natural gas) or
via the medium of electricity.

If you do that, then of course generation of electricity by non fossil fuel
means becomes much more important.
