I am sorry, but reality says otherwise. And SMRs are vaporware, if ever realized likely more expensive than already expensive NPPs.

Slow, expensive, more carbon emissions than renewables. Either nuclear weapon proliferation or corruption, there is no other reason to build reactors...

You misunderstood, this is an argument used by people to rationalize not changing their own behavior. If we would ban private jets they would rationalize with other "reasons".

How I hate this fucking strawman is indescribable. If we ban private jets you are still not gonna stop polluting the planet for no reason.
