Ya fair, I did have some discussions with some people at TransAlta who said if the technology got there you could have SMRs placed strategically on the grid to provide redundancies for baseload in the event solar/hydro/wind were not cutting it. By having them placed where you need them, they would be more efficient than having one large consolidated plant. Again, I am no engineer but it sounded interesting.
