New nuclear is decentralizing with micro reactors.

Except it's impossible to safely scale down nuclear to domestic/community/small-town level.

Instead renewables and especially solar as well as batteries and geothermal heat storage scale down very well and can build resilient networks.

After the horrific blackouts that happened in some countries people on HN should be able to grasp this...

Unless microreactors are stacked up at centralized sites to share labor their operating costs are likely to be prohibitive.
