The trouble with small nuclear reactors. SMRs are a colossal waste of time — a distraction from cheaper, more efficient technologies. The huge costs involved are unrealistic. And many designs rely on fuel from hostile or rival states. In 2021, one SMR developer backed by Amazon, X-Energy, said that its demonstration project would cost around $2.5bn, a figure that rose to almost $6bn in 2023. X-Energy declined to provide updated estimates but warned in June of continued “price increases from our suppliers”.

“This spring, the U.S. military faced a similar dilemma in the Middle East. According to a Reuters report that cited Pentagon documents, U.S. forces used Starshield to pilot their drones for strikes against Iran. When SpaceX found out, it raised the price for Starshield service in that region from roughly $5,000 per terminal per month to $25,000. The Pentagon agreed to pay.
In Ukraine, Musk could be attempting a similar upsell.”
