Well, there's your problem. They don't want something to work alongside renewables. They want to delay renewables for as long as they possibly can to keep the mining gravy train chugging along for as long as possible.
I think we do need to keep developing new technologies, because there are always going to be situations where renewables aren't ideal, but that's not the "problem" that SMRs in Australia are supposed to be solving.
You know what also works synergistically with renewables? More renewables!
