Globally, solar electricity generation quietly overtook nuclear power (just) in 2025, according to statistics from UK-based energy think tank Ember. And BBC analysis of Ember data over the past 12 months up to September 2026 shows it clearly outstripping nuclear, producing 13% more power.

"[Solar] generating more electricity than all the world's nuclear power plants is a pretty insane stat, for sure," says Dave Jones, co-founder of Ember. 

 a report said it is underestimating costs, overestimating the project's energy efficiency and promoting an unrealistic timeline.

The report by Iceberg Research, which assesses publicly available financial information to look for irregularities, called Deep Fission a "money pit."

In Emsland, the French reactor manufacturer wants to produce Framatome fuel elements, with the help of a Russian state-owned corporation. The BUND sees danger of manipulation and complains.

“Reactors 1 and 2 at Cernavodă are still shut down, and we don’t have a clear timeline for their reopening. At least for the next ten days, the forecast looks very concerning, which prolongs a situation that, with every day it remains this way, poses a risk of rising electricity prices in the coming months—a risk that, of course, compounds the overall situation in Europe, where gas prices are already very high. The issue discussed there was that we need to prepare for a winter and a spring in 2027 with very high electricity prices. We don’t yet have a definitive plan, but there are some things we can already state very clearly.

Cheap uranium extraction method & flooding leads to radiation peril:
“Those who eat Tobol River fish or drink the Kurgan water will injest uranium which will continue to alpha decay and irradiate people from the inside” says Physicist Andrey Ozharovsky. https://novayagazeta.eu/en/articles/2024/05/02/troubled-waters-en
