does your calculation include the carbon needed for all the concrete in the nuclear plants? does your calculation include the carbon needed for mining and refining the uranium in the reactor? does your calculation include the carbon needed for all the plant operators to drive their ICE vehicles to the plant every day? does your calculation include the mining needed for long term storage?
Play enough games and throw no real numbers around and you can argue everything isn't renewable then. Are you really arguing that the lubrication needed for a turbine makes its overall carbon impact the same as natural gas or oil?
Also, good job showing your ignorance of the Texas grid. ERCOT isn't asking people to conserve electricity at the moment buddy. Real-time spot prices are $24.65/MWh. We're nowhere near the committed capacity. There's lots of electricity available. Maybe save your comments for things you actually understand?
