Nice maps. One has to be a bit careful interpreting the numbers. For instance, IL shows up on the nuclear list in 6th place at 47.8%. However, IL is a large state with a lot of generating capacity, and leads the nation with about 12% of total US production. Also IL is divided between regions of the grid, and electricity in the north doesn't rely on production in the south. Electricity in Chicagoland is about 70% nuclear, comparable to VT.
