- I said it was a vast generalization
- I explicitly said both "sides" dislike nuclear, and made no proclamations about which "side" was more anti-nuclear, so pointing out that "red states have nuclear plants" is a non sequitur
- There are quite a few party-independent factors at work as well, obviously, such as the need for plants to be near running water, and the fact that NIMBY anti-nuclear pressure is higher in more populous areas which tend to skew blue
- Red/blue maps at the state level are nearly useless for anything but discussing electoral politics; all states have individual counties that are intensely red or intensely blue, so this level of detail tells us nothing of use
