.@CSIRO has calculated an apple v apples (levelised costs of
electricity) comparison between ‘nuclear’ and ‘renewable energy with firming’ and found nuclear twice as expensive. @PeterDutton_MP has gone with an apples v elephants (smoke and mirrors) comparison. #ScamWatch#auspol
From @PeterDutton_MP own numbers:
How is $331bn for 38% of generation (nuclear) cheaper than $595bn for 98% of generation (renewables and storage??
It appears that Dutton’s #nuclear pricing is more misleading than a “reduced to clear” sticker at Coles

Congratulations @PeterDutton_MP you’ve graduated to stage 4of climate denial:
1. Deny the problem exists
2. Deny that we’re the cause
3. Deny it’s a problem (CO2 is plant food)
4. Deny we can solve it (renewables are too expensive/#nuclear!!)
5. It’s too late

New idea: get solar and batteries put on every single home and it’ll be faster and cheaper than Dutton’s #nuclear.
Most important things: owner occupiers and renters get energy independence and energy bills get slashed to $0

Questions not answered at the Dutton press conference on his nuclear plans.
1. Where is the $300B of tax payers money coming from for his nuclear generation? Higher taxes or cuts to services?
2. On Dutton’s assumptions why is it better for the Australian taxpayer to spend $300B rather than the private sector to spend $500B?
@MerrymanPhd@AntonyGreenElec Trott Park and Hallett Cove are pretty much as whitey caravan owning, tradie bros as you can get.
What they don’t like is hypocrisy in their leadership.
