Original: Solar power is becoming bigger than nuclear

The shift reflects years of falling costs for solar panels and rapid deployment of large-scale solar farms, even as nuclear output has stayed roughly flat. Readers are debating whether solar's rise marks a lasting turning point in how countries generate power.

Why now: New analysis showing solar capacity and generation surpassing nuclear marks a symbolic milestone in the global energy transition.
