Solar and wind energy have seen significant growth, outpacing nuclear power in recent years. While nuclear energy electricity generation has steadily increased over time, the expansion of solar and wind power has been more pronounced, especially after 2010. By 2021, solar and wind energy had surpassed nuclear power in global electricity generation. The 2010s witnessed significant advancements in clean energy technology, particularly in solar and wind power. Decreasing costs of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels made solar energy increasingly competitive against fossil fuels, while innovations in wind turbine design and efficiency drove the expansion of wind power capacity globally. Concerns about environmental impacts and safety risks associated with nuclear energy have also contributed to a slowdown in the construction of new nuclear plants.
