Nuclear Could Have the Same Revolution that Wind and Solar Had
In the past 10 years, global wind and solar power growth has outpaced mainstream energy models . In 2010, solar and wind combined made up only 1.7% of total global electricity generation. By 2020, this number climbed to an amazing 8.7%. Wind and solar actually achieved exponential growth, while most models projected linear growth. They had already exceeded 2030 predictions by 2018.
