Businessman Dick Smith blasts RMIT ABC Fact Check for spreading 'misinformation and lies' in a flawed fact check on nuclear power
"No country has ever been able to run entirely on renewables, that's impossible, and so we should be making a decision to go nuclear now." "They say on the document... this is your inoculation against misinformation and their document is just completely misinformation because the left at the ABC have to be against nuclear so they just make up every lie they can to distort anyone who says we have to move to nuclear."
"Nepal, I’ve been to Nepal, the lodges have diesel generators and most of the people in Nepal burn wood which has probably got the most carbon output you could ever imagine." "What the ABC has done is distort that just to look at electricity which is only 25 per cent of our problem," the businessman said.
Citing Professor Mark Jacobson from Stanford University, the report stated California had been been running on"more than 100 per cent WWS for 10 out of the last 11 days for between 0.25 and 6 hours per day".
