@dave @dalias I see. Fair enough.

I don't think large-scale generators can be put everywhere and I'd be wary of trusting the competence (or diligence) of thousands or millions of operators not to screw up horribly on a semi-frequent basis.

The smallest-scale ones in submarines have already led to numerous passive accidents and containment losses without active sabotage or incompetence (rather the skill barrier for nuclear submarine crew is pretty high).

I'd sooner recommend "not being hated by everyone such that interconnection isn't an option" as an energy strategy, if somehow one has no renewables options.
