That's clutching at straws, i reckon.
Spoiler:
1. He didn't confront Spock. Spock was late in arriving to neutralise the Supernova. Nero admitted that his ship was just a mining vessel prior to his mission of vengeance. Therefore there was no "pimp my ride" mission prior to the singularity that was triggered when Spock neutralised the Supernova.
2. If you are alleging that he went on a pimp my ride mission during the 25 years he waited for Spock to emerge, then is in itself inconsistent. It could explain the second lightning storm, but not the first.
3. Admittedly, in the beginning of the movie we are led to believe that the storm is an effect generated by the ship, but this is later explained away. I.e. poor writing.

Despite my gripes, I wholeheartedly endorse this as the second best trekkie film ever made. Patrick Stewart agrees, and even gives some advice from the future on tackling the Narada:
