By the end of next year - there will be greater than 1 terawatt of solar module manufacturing capacity. Far more than any other energy source ever, including accounting for capacity factor.(pv-magazine-usa.com)

And the nuke fanboys will still be fantasising about building a couple of thousand new nukes.

To be fair a couple thousand nukes could solve the cliamte crisis too.

Nothing counteracts global warming more effectively than a nuclear winter!

Battery tech isn’t at the point where solar can support us during the night and on overcast days. Nuclear is still the most efficient, reliable, and safe form of power production, and modern reactors not built near areas of great geologic activity are very unlikely to cause any kind of nuclear accident.

The point is that it’s simply impossible to build enough nuclear reactors in time to have a meaningful impact on climate change. Even if somebody read crazy enough to put up the money for it. Which nobody is, so the whole discussion is pointless anyway.
