>> We're up to about 8 billion solar panels produced ever, maybe 2 billion or so a year now.

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.
