Solar surpasses nuclear power globally for first time

Solar power has generated more electricity worldwide than nuclear for the first time, according to pv magazine. The milestone reflects the rapid growth of solar installations and falling costs, while nuclear output has remained largely flat. Observers call it a symbolic turning point in the global energy transition, though nuclear advocates note reactors still provide reliable baseload power around the clock.

Why now: A historic milestone in the energy transition has just been reported, prompting debate over what it means for nuclear power's future.
