Problem is, you plug it in, which means that in California, you're using nuclear reactors more causing them to create more air pollution which doesn't help the ozone. You put out less emissions from the tailpipe but more at the source of the energy.
You lost me on that one. Nuclear facilities rely on closed loop systems. The spent fuel is stored in sealed containers, the coolant loop is separate from the steam loop. Your statement makes sense if you replace "nuclear reactor" with "coal power"
