We're up to about 8 billion solar panels produced ever, maybe 2 billion or so a year now.
That's a lot of doublings.
There's been about 700 nuclear plants. Not a lot of doublings.

You need a lot of panels to match one nuclear power plant though, and they were/are heavily subsidized. >> There's been about 700 nuclear plants. Not a lot of doublings. Obviously, because there was/is a lot pressure against building them. I think China demonstrates, that they can be built rather quickly and cheaper and cheaper, if the obstacles are removed. It's not really a fair competition when something heavily subsidized and the other thing is almost banned.
