>Why are people betting on small modular reactors? Because it's a bet on bad government(s) continuing to be bad. There is immense value to utilities in being able to just park SMRs on top of semi trailers beside all the infrastructure they already own and "get ahead" of onerous governments who would be all over something like a solar farm say nothing of a real large scale power generation station looking to extract their pounds of flesh. Being able to just "inject" base load power near where you need it on the grid saves nearly infinite money in otherwise necessary upgrades in transmission between the source and users of the power.
