While I don't disagree that it's going to be too late, I do think SMRs are likely to go the distance, at least abroad.

The reality is that we aren't going to hit 90% carbon free by 2030 without a huge social and political shift. There's just no way that is happening in 6 years. I really hate being a downer about it but I think we need to face the facts on it.
