    You’re stringing worlds together at this point.

    Cost is the single largest factor in the deployment of new power plants, and solar is just impossible to match right now.

    You could spend literally decades and billions building a nuclear plant, or start deploying solar right this minute and immediately reap the rewards of that investment.

    It’s a no-brainer.

      But it doesn’t need to be one or the other. The more diverse the grid the better. I’ll also say again, cost on both sides is mostly artificial anyway.
