About 19 percent of electricity
Lots of energy to power cities for YEARS
Nuclear reactions like nuclear power plants ^_~
Nuclear Energy is made up of atoms that can be naturally made or man made.
The law that people go by is: Energy can not be destroyed or created by nature.Nuclear energy is man made though, with our nuclear power plants. So this contains the correct information for Nuclear Energy. This happens because of the splitting/smashing of atoms, creating a powerful enough energy to power homes and other appliances.
If you're considering nuclear energy, then nuclear power is generated by nuclear fission, generally with radioactive bombardment. Basically, atoms are split into smaller components and release energy, and we use that to generate steam for electric power.

The only difference is how it is made (nuclear energy involves some form of atomic fusion/fission process). Once the electricity leaves the power station, there is no difference.
Nuclear energy is made up of Uramium. Uranium is a Non-Renewable material so more must be used.

Everything, so to speak, is nuclear powered, because everything ultimately gets its energy from the Sun, and the Sun's energy is fusion nuclear power. This includes the food we eat and the raw materials we are made of.
You are under a misapprehension about 'finding' nuclear energy. The uranium is found in a natural ore, mined and refined, and then made into nuclear fuel in the form of fuel rods. At this stage there is no nuclear energy being released, except for a small amount of natural radioactivity which is trivial. It is only in a nuclear reactor that a nuclear chain reaction is produced and energy is released because U-235 is being fissioned. This appears as heat in the fuel rods which is then used in a normal power plant steam cycle.
They are hydrocarbons which burn with oxygen
nuclear energy is a type of energy made by splitting atoms when the atoms split they make energy
