Texas, and places west, have lots of land to build civil power plants.
New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, etc. do not have the open land to build these power plants. Which is why they are against them.
I was just in upstate NY. There is plenty of land to build some SMR’s
Transmission technology is such that plants in TX are not going to solve power shortage problems in NY and New England.
