Re:What drives this madness on small modular nuclear reactors?

I linked to the costs data earlier (have a look at figure 1, for example. It includes cost projections, too).
Why are you so focused on solar, other things like wind are cheap, too? I couldn't care less about what particular energy source is used, I am just making a cost argument. No goal posts are being shifted by me. If you now want to discuss industrial capacity, then, sure, let's discuss how we can somehow build a few hundred nuclear power plants quickly but not expand wind, solar, geothermal or other things quickly.
If there already are cheap technologies, pushing for another one that isn't but might be is a tough proposition.
