By this logic, using diesel-powered haul trucks to Mike uranium, and building nuclear reactor facilities with massive amounts of steel rebar and concrete, both of which we don't even know how to decarbonize, means that nuclear is not low emissions either.
The only valid argument is a quantitative one, and in that regime, EVs powered with a tiny fraction of coal, like the grid in Germany, are a massive win.
But I will say that I'm not surprised to see yet another pro-nuclear, anti-other-clean-tech take. These two things seem to go hand in hand.
