Steve Price deems Andrew Forrest a 'hypocrite' after nuclear energy comments

Sky News host Steve Price has deemed Andrew ‘Twiggy’ Forrest a “hypocrite” after the mining billionaire’s National Press Club address on Monday. “These misinformed, unscientific, uneconomic, plucked-out-of-thin-air, bulldust nuclear policies of politicians – masquerading as leaders – help no one,” Mr Forrest said during the address. “This outburst came on a day when Newspoll showed a majority of us Australians including … younger Australians, support a nuclear energy industry," Mr Price said. “I am confused. “We have a mining magnate pivotal to China's carbon emissions – that go unchallenged – lecturing the rest of us about green energy and slamming the door on the huge opportunity that nuclear power offers to meet Australia's energy needs.”
