∙ 15y agoBy energy consumption I assume you mean electrical energy. Figures for 2006 in the US are:
Nuclear 19.4 percent, Wind 0.7 percent, Solar 0.1 percent, hydro 7.0 percent, geothermal 0.3 percent, biomass 1.3 percent, incinerators 0.3 percent.
All the rest fossil fuels, mainly coal and natural gas.

What is difference between atomic energy and nuclear energy?
Atomic energy is really a misnomer for nuclear energy. It is the fissioning of the nucleus which causes energy to be released. At the atomic level we are dealing with chemical reactions, but in the early days people did talk of atomic power and atomic bombs.
Why is energy usage increasing?
Energy usage is increasing because more and more people are using energy. This could be due to the growing population, technology that requires more energy, or perhaps a society that is used to wasting energy.
What is the difference between carbohydrate energy and fat energy?
carbohydrate energy is usage of energy fat energy stores energy
What is energy acquisition?

How long will nuclear energy for electricity production last at the present rate of usage?
There is no telling we give it an estimate of twenty years.
What is the major civilian usage of nuclear material?
industrial
How long will nuclear energy be on earth?
nuclear power is going to be around for much longer, more fission reactors will be built to compensate in the increase in energy usage and more research is being done to make fusion energy which will replace fission reactors(this is quite a while yet before fusion reactors can be used to produce use usable energy for long periods of time).
Is nuclear testing the same as nuclear weapon testing?
In common usage, yes. Its just a short way of saying it.
What are the usage of nuclear chemistry?
Examples: - chemistry of water in nuclear reactors - separation of new artificial elements - radiochemical polymerization
