General rule of thumb - if the current UK government is in favor of something it's probably a really terrible idea.
I trust RR to build an SMR more than some tech bros.

I'm not suggesting that a SMR can't be built, I'm saying that they're a massive waste of money, unless you hold RR stock.
Well, this Tera Power project is also for SMRs...
