Environmental groups have no power to stop SMR development.

For that matter, unless environmental groups are putting saboteurs inside construction projects around the world from France to China to the US, then environmental groups can't really be blamed for the failures of the past 20 years, either.

Personally, attempting to construct new nuclear, after the lessons of 1980s construction, is a big "stop hitting yourself" move as wel.

It is the usual partisan 'environmental group / greens are to blame for x/y/z'. Their 1 seat in parliament has affected government policy and the party that has been in power, with a large absolute majority for decades was powerless to stand in their way.
