If you read the definition of wrights law it's fairly obvious. > Wright's law, also known as the experience curve effect, states that as the cumulative production of a product doubles, the labor time or cost per unit declines by a fixed percentage We're up to about 8 billion solar panels produced ever, maybe 2 billion or so a year now. That's a lot of doublings. There's been about 700 nuclear plants. Not a lot of doublings. | ||

>> 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. |
