If the coffin needed any more nails, this puts the final kibosh on that cancelled SMR project out there that centered on Utah and Idaho, the one involving NuScale. Geothermal makes much more sense for them now.

There's a geothermal project at the Newberry Volcano in Oregon that also looks interesting (different people doing that).
