Sky News host Steve Price criticizes Andrew 'Twiggy' Forrest for his comments on nuclear energy during his National Press Club address. Price accuses Forrest of hypocrisy for lecturing about green energy while being involved in China's carbon emissions.

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.

“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.
