It's innovation that has a poor history of innovating. That probably has something to do with the size of the units (even these ones) and the penalty for getting the design wrong. Design iteration seem to take forever and not really work well.

Nuclear stans will explain it's always someone else's fault. Reliable as clockwork, they are.

The math only allows for one solution to carbon-free energy for humanity. Being ignorant doesn't change the math.
