What are the Advantages of Nuclear Energy? * Nuclear reactions release a million times more energy‚ as compared to hydro or wind energy. Hence‚ a large amount of electricity can be generated. Presently‚ 12-18% of the world’s electricity is generated through nuclear energy. * The biggest advantage of nuclear energy is that there is no release of greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide‚ methane‚ ozone‚ chlorofluorocarbon) during nuclear reaction. The greenhouse gases are a major threat in the
