‘Risky, slow, and expensive’: Bolt slams Chris Bowen’s green hydrogen schemes

Sky News host Andrew Bolt says “look at reality” as he questions the cost blowouts from renewables amid a new CSIRO report claiming the Opposition’s push for nuclear is “rubbish”.

“If I didn’t look outside, I would almost believe the crowing from the ABC and the Albanese government,” Mr Bolt said.

“They are so happy today because a new CSIRO report claims the Opposition’s plans for nuclear power are rubbish.”

Has Bowen achieved anything as a minister, every thing he touches Fails!
He just moves onto his next project & fails again, he’s a total Flog!

[vensimo]

Goodness gracious what else can we say about labor. Yes I can say the government is going to be remembered as the worst Australia has ever seen

[graemekeeley]

Strange how CSIRO suddenly pops with its latest Gen report (usual bias of course omitting the real cost of renewables) claiming Nuclear is not the way, just as the Australian Energy Regulator dumps on Bowen and his green energy nonsense reporting that it will lead to blackouts for NSW, Vic and SA

[calvinpurdy]

When a 17 year old school kid can tie this fool up in knots over nuclear energy on national TV, what does that tell you??

[greghaydon]

Burkina Faso one of the poorest countries in the world is building a nuclear power station. But Labour can't do it! Say no more!

[VKVO]

no such thing as "green hydrogen"

[AnneSchneider-jy]

Risky, slow and expensive.That describes Bowen perfectly.

[ivansultanoff]

Bowen should look out when people who will have to throw out all food after blackout because the fridge stopped -they be on his doorstep

[parqld]

Yep the CSIRO is past it’s use buy date

[weekendwithbevoblog]

‘Risky, slow, and expensive’ - that is Chris Bowen.

[lensmith-gdwi]

Chris Bowen has the mental capacity of a small child. Mummy told him that Nuclear Power was bad

[oldnutta]

If nuclear is so expensive, drop the ban and let the market choose where they want to invest their money.

[chopperking]

Labor, Bowen get kick backs from Chinese solar panels thats about it .

[Peter-put]

If Bowen keeps on trotting out the same fantastical net zero zealotry, he might just believe it enough to be true. That's the definition of lunacy😂😂😂😂

[richardrogers]

UEA built a 5600 megawatt reactor in 10 years . Cost 24 billion us .

[outback]

"Risky, slow and expensive"...that sums up Chris nicely.

[paulchatland]

Some countries have built Nuclear power stations in less than 7 years and as they last 5 times longer than windmills are the better value solution.

If there was a climate crisis why would you choose unreliable and inefficient wind and solar when in the past coal and gas gave Wester countries the prosperity the eco zealots now appear to despise but which India and China have no problem using to give their populations a better standard of living.

[petertturner]

Come on Bowen, The hunter has not produced enough wind for at least a week. Therefore no power, full stop.

[savagegfry]

Actually, it's impossible, and it is certain poverty.

[drupegler]

Risky slow and expensive is a fitting description of Chris Bowen
