Nuclear fission is real. Nuclear power plants create electricity by carefully modulating fission to create enough heat to turn water into steam which then spins turbines.
Nuclear bombs use the same fission process at an unrestrained, "all at once" level. The difference is exactly like the difference between starting a fire (slow release of heat) or setting off some dynamite (boom).
There's footage all over the place, you idiot.

Is there any truth that the world using too much electricity would bring down civilization?
Maybe, but where "too much" begins is presently unknown, as far as I know.
