Also what’s the source for the 20 year claim?

How do they say this with a straight face?

The $600bn nuclear figure extrapolates the cost of the most expensive nuclear power plant ever and doubles it.

It even contradicts their own source at the CSIRO which assumes nuclear costs 5x less.

FACTCHECK: $600 billion nuclear lie

Why would
@DoctorKarl
offer his support to an organisation which is funded by companies with alleged links to slavery and a history of disinformation on nuclear power making up numbers like $600bn and 4% of the grid…

Meanwhile
@nuclearforaus
has 100,000 grassroots supporters.

Join us today:

According to reports today ‘Liberals for Nuclear’ isn’t actually a grassroots campaign and its director isn’t even a Liberal.

It now looks like an anti nuclear astroturf group for billionaire Mike Cannon-Brooks.

“A vote for Russell Broadeent is a vote for three eyed fish”

This organisation, ‘It’s not a race’, has previously received ~$600,000 from Climate 200.

Convenor
@simonahac
is often quick to say he’s not anti nuclear. This suggests otherwise…

$400,000 and they still can’t do basic maths.

These guys are behind $600bn, 4% etc

❌ $600BN LIE
Comes from extrapolating the cost of the most expensive nuclear plant ever and doubling it.

❌4% LIE
Comes from dividing capacity and ignoring generation. 1GW of nuclear capacity generates roughly 3x more than 1GW of renewables.

@NSW_ETU

The $600bn figure is based on a lie.

It extrapolates the cost of the most expensive nuclear power plant ever and doubles it.

Yet it’s repeated daily by the Prime Minister down and in hundreds of ads.

It has deserved a fact check for a long time 👇

Nuclear is illegal in Australia.

Why would businesses line up to invest in something that is currently banned?

See the evidence for yourself:

@RichardMarlesMP
should apologise for this disinformation.

The $600bn figure does not come from the CSIRO or AEMO contrary to what the Deputy PM says.

It’s from a lobby group the
@SmartEnergyCncl
who extrapolated the cost of the most expensive nuclear power plant ever and doubled it.

Even the CSIRO says nuclear is at least 5x cheaper.

Also, Minister, what is Southwell?

Do you mean Sizewell?

And do you mean Sizewell C?

It hasn’t even been fully approved yet.

If you’re talking about Sizewell B (in the background) I think you’d find that was on time and only slightly over budget.

Bowen: “You could make the case that the Smart Energy Council has been conservative”

How is extrapolating the cost of the most expensive nuclear plant ever and doubling it conservative? They assume every GW will cost $55bn.

Funny how they stopped taking questions after that…

This Australian Senator believes it is dangerous to have nuclear power plants in areas of seismic activity.

I look forward to him sharing his concerns with nuclear experts, global regulators and the IAEA.

@DavidShoebridge

The $600bn nuclear figure is a lie.

It was calculated by extrapolating the cost of the most expensive nuclear power plant ever and doubling it.

Even the CSIRO assume nuclear is at least 5x cheaper.

When will this lie stop? Time for a factcheck
