       Nuclear power has been around for decades but it's never
       achieved the global dominance of the energy sector that its
       creators envisioned. Now, as the world moves away from fossil
       fuels, the nuclear debate is firmly back in focus and Small
       Modular Reactors are being touted as the only zero carbon
       baseload solution to our climate crisis. Rolls Royce say they'll
       have their design operational within ten years. Can they do it,
       and do we want it?

       />Agelbert COMMENT:
       I agree 100% that SMRs are a costly distraction. That said, I do
       believe that SMRs can be useful to human civilization. I will
       explain below, but the critical issue before us is cleaning up
       our biosphere by powering our civilization EXCLUSIVELY with
       Renewable Energy technologies that produce no pollution
       whatsoever in the process of providing energy. SMRs, like
       Hydrocarbon fuels, BOTH pollute when they provide energy, so
       they BOTH must play no role whatsoever in our civilization's
       energy providing infrastructure.
       &#129417; However, off planet SMRs have great potential to help
       our exploration of space. IF, and that is a rather large IF,
       SMRs can be &#128640; launched safely on journeys to other
       planets and/or asteroids to provide reliable &#128171;
       uninterrupted power to a manned, or remote controlled, base for
       many decades, it would definitely help in the exploration of
       space and exploitation of rare mineral resources in the solar
       system, as well as aiding in the scientific &#129488; study of
       our off planet neighbors.
       &#129302; The moon is a great place for SMRs; Mars too.
       SMRs on Earth &#9760;&#65039;? &#128226; fuggedaboutit!
