In 2020, nuclear energy accounted for 70.6 percent of France's total energy production what is stunning, if you take into account its one of the G7 countries:

It gets 70% of its electricity from nuclear, but electricity is only a minority of the energy we use, so France still gets most of its energy from fossil fuels:

Thanks for the correction. I meant to say 70% of electricity not 70% of the energy use. The link was clear about it, but my post not.
