What you said is absolutely true under the current regulatory regimes.

Its important to note though that significant progress has been made on compact nuclear. It's safer, easier to produce, and can be centrally manufactured and delivered onsite, relieving much of what causes cost overruns. The largest hurdles involve allowing such nuclear plants to be deployed, which requires regulatory change.

That's why I phrased the cost comparison the way I did. Even if the SMR modules were completely free, the rest of the plant would still be more expensive than solar.
