The Hoot: Is CSIRO's nuclear reaction a fusion of fact and fiction, or another sign of the times?

  • サマリー

  • You've heard about CSIRO's analysis of nuclear power, right?

    And you remember when the ACT Government told you how great the next stages of light rail would be (although not the cost ... which is odd ... but we digress).

    And you saw the Treasurer deliver the Budget (gee, you really are a sucker for punishment, aren't you!)

    How reliable are the figures and their 'analysis'?

    Do you really trust them?

    Is CSIRO right when it says a nuclear reactor would cost $8.6 billion? No. They're wrong. Nothing against CSIRO, but predictions are hard - especially about the future! (It'll be waaaaay more than 8.6 - you can take that to the bank.)

    Remember, Snowy 2.0 was meant to cost $2 billion and could now be edging to (if not over) $13 billion. And it's about four years late.

    The truth is, they have no idea. No one does. Yet we place all our faith and make decisions based on what they swear is their reliable crystal ball.

    This week on The Hoot, Murtagh takes the reins and tackles the 'experts'. What could possibly go wrong?
