But as I showed in my 2013 and 2021 reports, the hype surrounding SMRs is way overblown, and my conclusions remain valid today. According to the economies of scale principle, smaller reactors will in general produce more expensive electricity than larger ones. What are SMRs?

The only thing out-of-balance were humankind's carbon emissions. But solving that problem doesn't require that rich nations become poor — or that poor nations remain poor — but simply that we move toward energy sources that don't produce carbon emissions, a process known as "decarbonization."

China’s coal consumption declined over three consecutive years (2013 to 2016), and a continued slow decline is expected. As if this was not enough, the two Asian giants are also progressing on another part of the energy transition: electric vehicles. Meanwhile, in China , 20 percent of new buses are already full electric.

Much of the cradle-to-grave carbon intensity data that governments depend on to guide in photovoltaic arrays are instead based on modeling assumptions that are likely to have grossly under-estimated — if not made-up — solar’s carbon emissions because they cannot get insights from Chinese manufacturers.
