The output of the sun has been falling, and is 0.1% less than it was during the past couple years. Worse, it is not yet at the bottom of the cycle, and that means it is only going to go down more.
The sun is blank, NASA data shows it to be dimming
To put this into something more easily understandable let’s talk about what 0.1% really means.
We need to start building nuclear reactors now. They offer the only sustainable and reliable energy source for the future that is not subject to variables beyond our control.

A change of 0.1% may not sound like much, but the sun deposits a lot of energy on the Earth, approximately 1,361 watts per square meter. Summed over the globe, a 0.1% variation in this quantity exceeds all of our planet’s other energy sources (such as natural radioactivity in Earth’s core) combined.
