What you're missing is solar and wind projections do not consider a grid scale storage solution.... Factor into the grid scale storage solution with modern battery technology and suddenly the SMRs are a lot cheaper than battery super warehouses every few miles.

Again I am not saying we should not be building more renewables I'm just stating that we should also be developing more reactors with the renewables.
