Solar was almost 80% of new generating capacity installed in the first 2/3rds of 2024 in the US, and that doesn't count any of the small-scale solar.
1 GW of nuclear came online after 18 years of work, while 16.5 GW of solar came online, with presumably less lead time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vogtle_Electric_Generating_Plant#Units_3_and_4
