Process heat would be a good use case for SMR nuclear if the economics turn out to be favourable (a big if, admittedly). Also potential for using green hydrogen

Process heat would be a good use case for SMR nuclear if the economics turn out to be favourable (a big if, admittedly). Also potential for using green hydrogen (though the economics of that are even more iffy). Even without those, the continued decrease in solar costs means that there's a decent chance that plain old resistive heating will become viable at some point in the 2040s.
