Translation: We are worried about them.
What is the ideological bent of IEEFA? Who funds it?
Consider the source. A quick review of the IEEEEEEEEE reveals that they mostly profane just about anything that is not carbon neutral, advancing climate change and the like. Every random staff bio I looked at shows some element of econut. I wonder who funds them? I wonder if they are a not for profit? I wonder if they have tax returns? I wonder if they reveal their supporters? I wonder if they are telling the whole cloth truth or just the convenient one?
It looks as if somebody’s ox is being gored a bit here. They’re concerned about the modulars drawing funds away from development of “renewables” that aren’t ready to pull their weight yet, and about how slow those reactors are to field in the face of environmental obstacles they themselves are helping to throw up.
And yet, there’s these little tubes in the sea called nucular submarines, who seem to do okay with their little hot motors.
BS!
the US navy operates over 70 “small” reactors accident free
for over 60 years.
This article is just “Karen” hand wringing.
You know if you factor women out of the voting picture
we would be far better off.
The company’s Natrium reactor demonstration project—the nation’s first commercial advanced reactor of its kind—would be built on land in Wyoming near one of the state’s retiring coal plants. Kemmerer Power Station Unit 1 would operate as a 345-MW sodium-cooled reactor in conjunction with molten salt–based energy storage.
It is wind and solar that are incapable of supplying energy for the world.
This Population Control Marxism detests any energy source that can sustain a healthy, growing population.
Hello my name is Achmed Smith and I woould like to purchase 100 of your compact reactors...tell me does that come a full compliment of radioactive material or is that extra?...fine, fine, I’ll put that on my Iranian Amex and can you’ll ship those to a warehouse in Afghanistan? Perfect.
Invest accordingly.
I had an activity a few years ago with a company called NuScale.
They are into all of this.
My work there was unrelated to their program.

But many do not want us to find a way out of our economic mess...
* Small modular reactors still look to be too expensive, too slow to build, and too risky to play a significant role in transitioning from fossil fuels in the coming 10-15 years.

What is the damn rush? I feel like we are being railroaded.
