How much nuclear energy do people need to import to match their needs?

Nuclear energy supplies a proportion of electricity used, in the US this is about 19 percent, so a consumer imports that proportion of nuclear energy. The actual amount clearly depends on how much electricity that consumer uses.

What type of energy does a match use?
when a match is struck the friction caused is actually the electromagnetic force of the molecules which make up the match stick and the surface struck against. The electrons within the atoms of the match stick repel against the surfaces electrons and causes excitement within the atoms of the match stick. The excitement is actually heat and the kerosene on the end of the match ignites into a flame. The flame is excited electrons. They have so much energy that they are able to escape the attractive force from the nucleus. The reason why the flame is hot is because of the energy the escaping electrons carry. As for the energy, It would be the kinetic energy of the electrons. Suppose you could call that chemical energy but that's really just kinetic energy.
What are the energy transformations in striking a match?
When striking a match, the chemical energy stored in the match-head is transformed into heat and light energy.
What form of energy does an unlit match contain?
What form of energy has an unlit match?
What type of energy is a burning match?
A burning match uses up heat energy and light energy
What is the energy transformations in a striking match?
The match has stored energy (chemical energy). This is released as heat and light.

Where does the energy come from to light a match?
Chemical energy, stored in the match.
What form of energy does an unlit match contain?
What form of energy has an unlit match?
What type of energy is a burning match?
A burning match uses up heat energy and light energy
What is the energy transformations in a striking match?
The match has stored energy (chemical energy). This is released as heat and light.
Which energy transformation takes place in a match head when light the match?
The mechanical energy used to strike a match is transformed first to thermal energy. The thermal energy causes the particles in the match to release stored chemical energy, which is transformed to thermal energy and the electromagnetic energy you see as light.
Does a match have energy?
its had potential energy
Which energy transformation takes place in a match head when you light a match?
Chemical energy is transformed into thermal energy
What kind of energy does an unlit match have?
Potential energy, released when the match is struck.
What is the energy conversion while liting a match stick?
Chemical energy in your body to the Gravitational Potential Energy of the match stick.
How much energy is in a match head?
Technically its potential energy until it's lit, and then it depends on the match brand.
