Sure.

Seems to me like nuclear is a very inefficient power source.

A thinking person could see the flaw in that statement in seconds. I don't need to do the math any more than I need to weigh an elephant and a poodle to see which one is heavier.

A more complete analysis of nuclear versus coal might go into cost of plant construction, costs and energy used to refine and transport the fuel, liability issues, and many other externalities. I suspect nuclear would still come out a lot better.

But for the basics, you don't really need the Fool Hammer. A very small ball-peen job will do it.
