Nuclear capacity additions in 2025 were about 1% of solar additions - there is no comparison.

Nuclear capacity: +2GW in 2025 (https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/country-profil...)

Solar capacity: ¬300GW capacity

Looks like math and construction isn’t your strength.

I don't understand this? A couple of people responded with clear charts showing nuclear way behind on solar/renewables with solar/renewables growing faster too.

It looks like you've been misled but are having trouble admitting that to yourself?

Please show your numbers; if you just make a claim and then insult people who disagree, you automatically lost internet arguments.
