That is a big if. It seems to me that it really depends on whether SMRs can be economically viable against the ever-reducing cost of renewables plus battery storage.

@snellarthur.bsky.social I enjoyed your book greatly, it's such a vital topic that clearly has been neglected. I learnt a lot, but I feel that parts on small nuclear reactors and hydrogen skated over a lot of the issues with those particular technologies. Dave Borlace on his YouTube channel

This is sovereignty. 'Wind and solar generated a record 41% share of the UK’s electricity needs in 2026 to date, compared with 25% from gas, avoiding the need for gas imports worth £5.9bn since the outbreak of war between the US and Iran in February.' www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-win...

Every death in our Channel could be prevented. The three people who died trying to reach safety yesterday were betrayed by politicians, who've chosen to ignore the evidence and prioritise deadly hostility over saving lives. But this tragedy doesn't have to be repeated. Safe routes save lives.

Headline reads "Three more people killed by our borders. One of them was a child." over a choppy sea background, with a "Fight for Asylum Rights" badge and a Sky News caption reporting two women and a child died crossing the English Channel.
