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.
When striking a match, the chemical energy stored in the match-head is transformed into heat and light energy.
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.
When a match is struck, mechanical energy from the friction between the match head and the striking surface is converted into thermal energy from the heat production that ignites the match head. This thermal energy is then transformed into light and heat energy as the match continues to burn.
When a person strikes and lights a match, potential energy in the match is transformed into thermal energy (heat), light energy (the flame), and chemical energy (burning of the matchstick).
A match stick typically contains potential energy in the form of chemical energy stored in the match head and the striking surface. When the match is struck, this potential energy is converted into thermal energy and light as the match ignites and burns.

Potential energy, released when the match is struck.
Well, honey, when you strike that match, you're converting the potential energy stored in the match head into thermal energy through friction. As the match ignites, the chemical potential energy in the match head is transformed into heat and light energy. So, basically, you're turning a boring old match into a fiery little showstopper.
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.
A burning match produces thermal energy, in the form of heat and light, due to the combustion reaction of the match head with oxygen in the air.
Yes, a match has energy stored in the form of chemical potential energy. When struck, the match ignites due to the chemical reaction between the match head and the striking surface, releasing this stored energy in the form of heat and light.
When lighting a match stick, the chemical energy stored in the match head is converted to thermal energy through the process of combustion. This thermal energy produced causes the ignition of the match stick, releasing light and heat energy in the form of a flame.
