Nuclear Only Energy Company

Is there an electricity company where I can get Nuclear only energy & therefore reduce my CO2 footprint, contributing to an improved environment?

Have a look at:

It tells you what sources the energy companies are buying. None buy 100% nuclear (we just don't generate that much nuclear electric in the UK), but some are buying around 1/3rd nuclear. However, most companies buying large amounts of nuclear are also buying a lot of electric from coal when you look across the table, and the average emissions per kWh of their electric is increased a lot by this.

While they might be buying some low carbon nuclear energy, as a whole the companies are not environmentally sound or greatly better for the environment than any other.

As we're considering CO2 emissions, the two lowest emitters are ecotricity and goodenergy. Ecotricity buy a lot of nuclear, and significantly less coal energy than most the others, so have lower average emissions. Goodenergy have a policy not to buy nuclear, but they do despite this have very low CO2 emissions compared to the others.
