Isn't it funny when articles compare generating capacity instead of the actual amount of electricity generated?  If you read this article it is a typical article touting renewables without delving into storage, capacity factors and other unrealisitc comparisons...I could go on and on but won't. And of course it found a way to mention chernobyl and criminal activity related to nuclear power...I'm surprised they don't have a picture of Hiroshima devastation near the caption  Funny.

PV Magazine is a photovoltaics monthly publication. Their slant should not be surprising. But I agree the green crowd does not include capacity factors.
