No, I’m claiming that nuclear energy has not increased at the level gas electric energy has.

Texas electricity is generated by 49% Natural Gas and only 10% Nuclear for our electric power generation.

Rising Natural Gas prices do not favor Texas as we are more than twice the national average for Natural Gas as our fuel. We generate about half as much as the nation using nuclear power.
