He made a universal statement. You presenting an example where it might be true doesn't save his statement, when I can present an example where it is wrong.

Universal statement? The above commenter specified California. I provided an example confirming that statement for California.

Not to mention, the comment is practically a truism aside from the locations mentioned:

"Wind only displaces gas and coal when governments aren't shutting down nuclear to persue [sic] it..."

If a nuclear plant were shut down and replaced entirely with wind, then that necessarily means that coal and gas are not displaced.

I see you edited out the part that shows you are wrong.

"Wind only displaces gas and coal when governments aren't shutting down nuclear to persue it like in Germany, California, New York, etc."

Notice that word "Germany"?
