Solar Panels Are Now Producing So Much Power That They're Leaving Nuclear Plants in the Dust

Solar energy will soon account for 10 percent of the world's energy generation, as nuclear power gets precipitously more expensive to build.

    I think it’s just the economics of it, as it almost always is.

    Solar panels have been dropping logarithmically in price for 50 years. Battery improvements don’t hurt either.

    I am a fan of nuclear energy, but its cost has not done anything like that. It would be a good thing for us to develop cheaper fission and build more reactors. I know there are companies trying to bring it back, at least.
