    Nuclear is buildable nearly anywhere

    It’s really not. It needs a reliable water source for a start.

        Do you have any examples of them in operation, hooked up to a grid? How much does the energy they produce cost?

          Even large scale nuclear plants are not economically viable without huge subsidies. Small scale reactors are even less cost effective. I haven’t really seen any of them “in the wild” except for research reactors or something like that.

            Oh, I know. Making a wild claim about SMRs and then running for the hills when asked for evidence is pretty standard around here.

                No, it’s just an area I’m interested in. There’s so much misinformation and people being confidently incorrect that I spent some time reading up on what’s going on.

                  Hats off to you for doing research and trying to pass on the knowledge in hostile comment sections. 💪 So sad that they don’t care for facts and really love to be confidentiality incorrect. I mean, I have a degree in that matter - still doesn’t count and everybody wants to keep spinning their (demonstrably false) narrative.
