That was a 30 second job. What else has he done?

Comprehension has obviously never been your best skill!

Bill clearly stated;

"The French genenrate most of their electric power from nuclear
reactors and yet you claimed"

Note the words ELECTRIC power.

You've used the CIA figures for total fossil fuels, which includes
that used for transportation, heating, industrial processes etc.

The Wikipedia page for Nuclear Power in France states;

"In France, as of 2002[update], �lectricit� de France (EDF) � the
country's main electricity generation and distribution company �
manages the country's 58 nuclear power plants. As of 2008[update],
these plants produce 90% of both EDF's and France's electrical power
production (of which much is exported),[1] making EDF the world leader
in production of nuclear power by percentage. In 2004, 425.8 TWh out
of the country's total production of 540.6 TWh was from nuclear power
(78.8%)."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_France

Shame about all those wasted calculations you went through.
Bill's post was authoritative.

Listen up, Joerg. If Sloman says you live in Oregon, you live in
Oregon. It's a peer-reviewed fact.

Nice to see that Slowman has decreed a format that every one can
understand.

Although, I doubt that all will fuzzy warm feelings about! :)

What I was told before I married my sweetheart: If the father-in-law
says that the water runs up the drain then it does run up the drain.

But he turned out to be a fun guy. Wish he was still around.
