'It's offensively cheap': Solar power is quietly becoming bigger than nuclear

Solar power has surpassed nuclear energy as a global power source, growing from just 1% of world power a decade ago to an projected 10% by 2026, according to energy think tank Ember. The dramatic expansion, driven by factors including falling costs and China's massive solar arrays, has defied repeated expert projections and made solar the fastest-growing and largest source of new electricity globally. Industry analysts suggest solar will continue its "unstoppable" growth trajectory to become the dominant energy source worldwide.
