Part 4/12:
So, why does solar outperform other energy sources like nuclear? The answer lies fundamentally in cost. Nuclear power, despite being technologically advanced and among the safest energy forms, demands a large trained workforce, safety regulations, and expensive infrastructure, all of which inflate its price. In contrast, solar energy benefits from being commoditized, mass-produced, and widely understood. Its simplicity—lacking moving parts and requiring minimal specialized labor—makes it inherently safer and more economically viable.
