SMR requires steam, heat, and pressure to convert methane (in natural gas) to hydrogen and carbon monoxide. We’re going to need a lot of steel to build structures, including those supporting clean energy, such as wind turbines, solar facilities, and associated transmission and other infrastructure.

Offshore wind turbines also have a relatively small footprint and are able to use much larger turbines than land-based projects. Of course, to deliver all this clean energy from wind-rich regions in the Midwest and Plains states to major load centers in the East will also require a lot of additional transmission lines.
