CSIRO CEO Dr Doug Hilton is urging politicians not to undermine scientists in the energy debate, after finding himself in the political firing line.

CSIRO CEO Dr Doug Hilton says Peter Dutton's comments on the GenCost report corrode the public's trust in science.Mr Hilton has spoken to the shadow energy minister about the report's validity.

"My point is that we need to compare apples with apples. At the moment, that report that was released, it doesn't take into consideration all of the costs around renewables," he said.Speaking to the Insiders: On Background podcast, Dr Hilton said Mr Dutton's comments were not "helpful". "We play a dead-straight bat, we have no skin in the game here in terms of which technologies are going to be used," he said.Dr Hilton said he has since had a "respectful and useful" conversation with Shadow Energy Minister Ted O'Brien.

One of the concerns about the report is it modelled the lifespan of a nuclear plant at 30 years, but the Coalition argues they can last up to 100 years.
