Adi Paterson loses all credibility when he labels Bowen's statement that nuclear energy is 'incompatible' with renewables is a lie
It is well understood that the nature of nuclear power and renewables are incompatible - so banging on and on about it a lie is itself dishonest. Sure he may disagree with it, and understand he would be pro-nuclear wouldn't he, but then again would you really expect a fair and unbiased opinion from the "Chair of Nuclear for Australia" ??

Even if nuclear could run at 99% capacity, it will be very expensive (more so in Aust) - and given the energy markets when the wind blowing or the sun's shining Nuke power would priced out of the market - so that leave Nukes only able to operate at low capacity thereby making nuclear ridiculously expensive

so yes nuclear is incompatible - and no need for Adi to call anyone a liar
