Data from the Energy Information Administration has revealed which states are producing the most energy through nuclear power.
The latest data on the status of renewable energy in the U.S. has revealed which states are producing the most electricity via nuclear power.Data from the Energy Information Administration, which monitors the energy output of every state by different energy sources, includes statistics on which states are producing the most nuclear power.When mapped by Newsweek, the data shows that 28 states produce electricity by using nuclear fuels in some way.
Twenty-two states did not produce any power via nuclear fuel in the last month, and these states were largely located in the northwest, with no states north of New Mexico and west of Nebraska producing nuclear power apart from California and Washington. There are also no nuclear power plants in Hawaii or Alaska.There are some political reasons behind this. Firstly, several states have restrictive laws around the handling of nuclear waste that makes it harder to develop nuclear energy.
