Those kinds of arguments are uniformly bullshit, because they assume that the construction and decommissioning activities, etc. somehow can't possibly also run on energy derived from the same source!
Equipment used to build nuclear plants can run on electricity generated by (previously-built) nuclear plants.
Feedstock for biodiesel can be harvested by farm equipment running on biodiesel.
Photovoltaic panel factories can run on solar electricity.
Or you can mix and match!
The idea that green power isn't "really" green because you need fossil fuels to build it is fucking moronic.
