NuScale and its primary partner give up on its first installation.
@arstechnica Interesting. Perhaps large scale batteries plus solar/wind is cheaper and equally dispatchable?

@tdietterich well, it's not equally dispatchable, but cost is really the complication here.
**Rightly or wrongly** regulators put up roadblocks that increase costs way higher than they have to be, so it sounds like this project was no longer able to overcome that hurdle.
