This is just what the U.S Energy Information Administration is predicting and countless other authorities. Very few of them think nuclear is going to stage a comeback. Solar panes are almost entirely recyclable and in places like Europe they have to be recycled at end of life which is done by the manufacturer. Just think about it, they're mostly aluminum and silicon.

It's not even close to 16 years, the decrease is compounding and only a 88 percent decrease overall is needed.
>So idk that your renewable fud works
What? What your meme stocks do have no effect on what will actually happen. Nuclear is not going to beat renewables, that is just stupid and misinformed.

The same way energy production currently scale to meet rising population and higher usage. If the global fleet was 100% electric, we only need about an 18% increase in generation. Solar power over generates during the day producing electricity at a low cost without any storage needed, that alone will be able to charge many vehicles.

Renewables are rapidly becoming cheaper than natural gas and solar will be the cheapest source of energy by 2025. It's storing the energy that is the problem but with battery costs keep rapidly falling with EV adaption, it's only a matter of time before solar plus storage ends up being cheaper. Natural gas installations peaked in 2018.
