This is true. A lot of people don't realize that bulk electricity prices are paid to all generators based on the price of the marginal watt to be scheduled. Natural gas turbines can turn on and off quickly, so they can respond to the market and are usually the ones to provide that marginal watt. That means when natural gas prices decrease, so do profits for nuclear, coal, and hydro plants. Google "location based marginal pricing" to learn more.
