GoKawiilSolar power set to overtake nuclear in global electricity generation by end of 2026
New BBC reporting indicates photovoltaic solar will supply 10 percent of global power generation by the end of 2026, surpassing nuclear fission output. Solar generation has grown roughly 2,700-fold over the past 26 years while nuclear output has remained largely flat, a trend Oxford energy policy professor Jan Rosenow attributes partly to falling photovoltaic costs driven by Chinese manufacturing supply.
