Australia's conservative politicians and the Rupert Murdoch media are attacking the CSIRO for reaffirming that renewables are the cheapest form of electricity generation. The CSIRO report shows that nuclear small modular reactors are the highest-cost technology. Peter Dutton, the conservative federal Opposition leader, has accused the CSIRO of manipulating the figures. However, CSIRO's CEO has defended the report and warned against disparaging science. The report clearly includes the costs of renewables and their integration into the grid.
