Why is nuclear becoming the energy darling when solar is so clearly better? 

Solar is already proven to work at a variety of scales, has little-to-no downside, and needs to only become more efficient and ubiquitous.

1. It’s abundant and inexhaustible. 
2. No emissions and minimal waste. 
3. Scalable implementation (can be easily sized up or down)
4. Flexible implementation (roofs, farms, etc unlike a lot of hydro, nuclear, and wind installs)
5. Minimal risks (unlike nuclear or fossil fuels)

Solar’s issues are all solvable and primarily come down to efficiency per unit of area of panels and storage.

100% on storage. But generally speaking, it’s a solved problem set, just a matter of scale and efficiency. 

Oil isn’t evenly distributed but we do a pretty good job of moving it around. Sunshine can be bought & sold too. 

Companies like https://www.reflectorbital.com/ are tackling, plus it has the added benefit of more space activity.

Storage to me is the main issue with solar + not having enough sun everywhere e.g. Germany in winter
