They claim to compare the cost of powering a 120MW data centre from a dedicated 470MW RR SMR compared to powering it from an 80MW gas turbine plus some unspecified number of wind, solar, and battery installations. For a study supposedly promoting wind, solar and battery technology, you would think they would tell us how many, what size, and what model of wind turbines they are modelling. But no, that’s left to vague hand waving.
Get out of here with your facts, reason and logic it’s not allowed. Don’t you understand we have to turn off all the deadly evil nuclear plants and stop them from poisoning the Earth and killing so many more people than all other methods of power combined /s
Fun fact, wind energy kills more people per year than nuclear has in decades.

on review this doesn’t appear to be entirely true; see my other comment: https://lemmy.world/post/36518843/19617823. still no specification behind the 43.4% stat, tho
