Yes, b3cause after all, in the minds of the left, we dweebs need gov to tell us how to think and behave, because without their unlimited wisdom, we are truly lost and wouldn’t know how to breathe even.

That's what the developers of big data centers are looking at because the grid is increasingly inadequate and undependable. But I doubt these privately-owned nuclear plants will be very small.
Modular and easily expandable? Yes. But small? No.
And for anyone who thinks the rapid development of AI and its data centers can be slowed down, consider that the DOD, military-industrial complex, and intel community will be big users of AI and AI will be important to national defense.

"Modular and easily expandable? Yes. But small? No." There are models that fit a "standard" shipping container. Others may take several "container modules" to make up a full reactor. I am sure the market will sort it out.
To: Wonder Warthog
Yep. The problem is that some of the data centers will consume as much electricity as a small city.

The real reason for the push to EV is with a command, they can regulate how often you charge your car.
Even if its charged from home.
Gas lines make the news.
Not being able to charge your car will be covered up.
