'I’m not taking the word of any politician': Andrew Forrest on nuclear energy push

Fortescue Chairman Andrew Forrest has rubbished the Coalition’s push for nuclear energy. Mr Fortescue told Sky News Australia how he spoke with General Energy about the costs of implementing nuclear energy and the timeframe required. “If I order one, when do I get one? And they said, ‘mate, look, 15 years’,” he said. “I’m not going to take the word of any politician. “I don’t know how many projects they have ever developed – I don’t know if they have spoken to any vendors, but let’s see how they go when they do.”
