I'll just sit here pretending that you didn't just dodge the relevant question in the title or your ridiculous prediction for their nuclear expenditures.

I do remember rubbishing your claim that solar manufacturing capacity would hit a full TW per year by the end of this decade - telling you that that was about the most optimistic expectation for cumulative installed capacity, not annual manufacturing capacity. If that's the claim you're thinking of... then I'm happy to "own" it - since it was entirely correct.
