“GREEN” iron ore billionaire Andrew ‘Twiggy’ Forrest should think a little more about his obsession with all things renewable. Fortescue Metals shareholders should also take a closer look at what he’s up to.
Forrest was recently caught up in a slanging match with Wide Bay MP Llew O’Brien who called Forrest, who was in Canberra selling his green schemes, a ‘f…ing charlatan’ and a ‘f…ing snake oil salesman, when Forrest tried to defend the multi-billion dollar solar and wind farm power line network that is wiping out productive farmland.
O’Brien, a National Party MP, said he was representing his Wide Bay constituents and that “these people are getting pushed off their farms by these projects”. But to Forrest and his Davos mates, anything called “sustainable” has to be good – even if it destroys farms and small business. After all, that’s the whole objective of Klaus Schwab’s neo-fascist Great Reset.
Forrest, ironically, is also a big shot in the beef business with his Minderoo Group, which is one of Australia’s largest beef producers. His properties are the ones that should be hosting the thousands of hectares of wind and solar farms he needs to produce his beloved green hydrogen to run his iron ore trucks during his “net-zero” future.
The number and staggering costs of these power lines highlights the stupidity of the so-called “transition to renewable energy” which will cost Australia an estimated $320 billion. But don’t worry folks, your power bills will get cheaper. Albo, Bowen and the Greens said so, and Forrest and his green billionaire buddies couldn’t care less.
Because wind and solar farms provide intermittent electricity and are spread out all over the country, they need a vast network of interlinking power lines. They also need new gas-fired power stations to back them up. In contrast, the coal-fired power stations provide constant, intense electricity supply without interruption, except for scheduled maintenance shutdowns. The value of coal-fired power is that it easily meets the daily peak consumer and industrial demand.
But the fools who have bought into the “climate change” narrative want to make power supply unreliable and expensive at the same time. And to do it, the so-called renewable energy suppliers get big fat subsidies such as the $600k per wind turbine. It’s a taxpayer milking scam all the way.
Meanwhile Forrest’s hydrogen-powered iron ore fleet is going to cost him a packet, although taxpayers are helping out. So far he’s only got one ore truck up and running but “transitioning” from diesel is going to have his competitors in places like Brazil, China, India, Russia and South Africa keenly comparing cost structures.
Hydrogen, like wind and solar, is low-density power, and to produce it actually requires a lot of electricity – usually coal-fired. In 2021 the ABC reported: “To produce green hydrogen, you need access to green energy and, given it’s an energy-intensive business, lots of it. That means vast plains of solar panels, wind turbines and hydro-electricity schemes on a scale hitherto unimaginable.”
So not only do farmers and consumers get hit for a six by Chris Bowen’s hare-brained “transition to renewables”, they get hit again by Twiggy Forrest’s idiotic grand plan to get everything running on so-called “green hydrogen”.
But Twiggy Forrest has another big picture problem. People are waking up to this green business scam, including some of the biggest players in the business.
Giant global firms JP Morgan and State Street recently quit a global investor coalition called Climate Action 100, which discourages investment in “climate damaging emissions”, as Reuters called them. Even BlackRock, one of the key WEF backers, has downgraded its membership CA100 to its BlackRock International arm.
According to Reuters “the decisions together remove nearly $14 trillion of total assets from efforts to coordinate Wall Street action on tackling climate change”. That’s a huge chunk of money taken away from the global green cleptocracy.
Reuters says the reason for this is “growing pressure from Republican politicians” over financial firms’ membership of such groups, and accusations that “committing to shared action could be a breach of antitrust law or fiduciary duty.” In other words, increasing numbers of people and politicians are waking up to this monstrous, green con job.
Neverthess, our boy Twiggy is spending up big on all sorts of wind, solar and hydrogen projects around Australia. Is he really a green crusader or is this obsession just another way of raking in multiple millions of dollars worth of carbon credits while they are still around? That scam’s days appear to be numbered.
Forrest is spending a fortune converting his iron ore trucks to hydrogen power because diesel has become so unfashionable among the woke Davos billionaire set. Or is he just trying to compensate for his “green guilt” in digging up vast areas of landscape for iron ore?
A big part of it is the global DEI (diversity, equity inclusivity) and/or EIS (Equity, Inclusivity and Sustainability) religion. In recent years the big corporate chiefs have swallowed this claptrap hook, line and sinker – incentivised of course by their banker friends who push the same cultural Marxist poison. That was until JP Morgan, State Street and BlackRock started getting cold feet.
Is it finally sinking in to these people that going woke could indeed send you broke. One thing we can be sure of: No Wall St financier likes losing money, regardless of how much they have already, and pouring billions into questionable green virtue signalling with little or no return is not good business.
China, for instance, is making a packet off western countries like Australia, rushing like fools into wind farms and electric cars, while they, India and Russia just stick with their coal, gas and nuclear to supply cheap industrial power and a generally reliable energy supply system. We, of course, are doing the opposite by turning to dispersed, inefficient sources of energy, hoping that some miracle battery of the future will store all this intermittent wind and solar power.
China, despite being dominated by a totalitarian, CCP fascist state, knows some basic economic principles and how to manufacture stuff. They know very well that it was their massive list of 1142 coal-fired power stations that has made the country first or second in global economic stakes.
The Greens who fret like frightened children about “greenhouse gas emissions” from Australia’s 18 coal-fired power stations, make themselves look like the utter fools they are when China’s power station numbers are cited. Australia could soon have only 17 if Eraring Power Station near Newcastle is closed in 2025, as proposed by the woke idiot owners Origin Energy.
But Twiggy Forrest, whose family holdings are worth $21.5 billion, has flown his Squadron Energy company to become the biggest renewable energy player in Australia. The Twig must be revelling in waves of good vibes from the Green-Labor-Lib-Teal sustainability tribe. But that honeymoon is quickly turning sour.
LOL The likes of Forrest, Gates, Soros are the quintessential experts they roll out when we need to be convinced of the desirability of what they have in the pipeline.
After all, they are philanthropists and loves us all. And they’ve got the dough to prove it. rotf
Scientists and academia are interferring with nature and changing the sky with Marine Cloud Brightening. This is the result.
News, 14 Feb 2024 – This month, researchers aboard a ship off the northeastern coast of Australia near the Whitsunday Islands are spraying a briny mixture through high-pressure nozzles into the air in an attempt to brighten low-altitude clouds that form over the ocean. Scientists hope bigger, brighter clouds will reflect sunlight away from the Earth, shade the ocean surface and cool the waters around the Great Barrier Reef, where warming ocean temperatures have contributed to massive coral die-offs.
The research project, known as marine cloud brightening, is led by Southern Cross University as part of the $64.55 million, or 100 million Australian dollars, Reef Restoration and Adaptation Program. The program is funded by the partnership between the Australian government’s Reef Trust and the Great Barrier Reef Foundation and includes conservation organizations and several academic institutions.
“In Israel, a startup called Stardust Solutions has begun testing a system to disperse a cloud of tiny reflective particles about 60,000 feet in altitude, reflecting sunlight away from Earth to cool the atmosphere in a concept known as solar radiation management, or SRM. Yanai Yedvab, Stardust chief executive and a former deputy chief scientist at the Israel Atomic Energy Commission, wouldn’t disclose the composition of the proprietary particles.” #GeoEngineering

We are seeing a beautiful country being purposely destroyed by socialist and communists .Not much hope after seeing what happened in the socialist Republic on Saturday .and PAT don’t tell everybody that you come from The socialist Republic VICTORIA.
I can comment but can not like a post.
Something not right
Germany is all the prof you need failing economy closed coal and nuclear power and importing gas from the good old US of A at costs just keep voting for the socialist and the greens it will all end well.
The incorruptible truth, folks – “The enemy of my enemy is my friend”.

(stick “bitchute” at the front)
KNOW YOUR ENEMY, folks, and respect your friends.
If electricity from solar power and windmills is so successful, why are there Government subsidies for those industries. If what we are told is the truth, the companies in this production of electricity would be making a fortune, so why are taxpayers paying at both ends of the market (through subsidies and increased electricity prices)?
For those not awake yet, solar power can only be produced during certain daylight hours and winds generally drop off after sunset. Therefore not much energy produced during the dark hours but society still uses volumes of electricity in this period of the 24 hour day.
The enormous cost of setting up the transmission base, acquisition of land, the uselessness of the short lived used windmill blades and their land-fill problem was never taken into account when governments pushed the idea of these technologies onto the public. But isn’t that normal behaviour for politicians who look no further than their huge salaries after the political life? Another normal situation is the merchant banksters will push the politicians along their money making trails even if they know about the negative issues ahead. How can you go wrong providing finance to Governments?
I support John Wilson in his endeavour to get the strike up and running.
Don’t lose sight of what’s REALLY going on here, folks.
This rolling mountain of “Climate Crisis” and “Renewable Energy” BS and FARMLAND DESTRUCTION and ECONOMIC DESTRUCTION and ALL THE REST is just MORE of the multi-tiered GLOBALIST ASSAULT to grind us down into the dirt and EXTERMINATE US.
DON’T FORGET what these mongrel bastards DID TO US, folks, because THEY HAVE NOT STOPPED. Not ONE SINGLE PERSON ANYWHERE IN AUSTRALIA has been held to account for ANY of it. NOT ONE.
And they NEVER back down, they only ever DOUBLE DOWN. They WILL NOT STOP until WE STOP THEM and they’re ALL SWINGING FROM LAMP POSTS. And that’s PERFECTLY LEGAL, folks, because there’s not a legally competent individual anywhere on Earth who will deny that the PENALTY FOR TREASON IS DEATH.
Here’s just a little REMINDER of the STAKES, folks, of what we’re STILL UP AGAINST…

… and just BTW, there ARE NO “good cops”, here in Australia we have NO LAW and we have NO POLICE, all we have is HUGE ARMIES of shit-for-brains mentally retarded HEAVILY ARMED HIRED MERCENARY GANGSTER ARSEHOLES entrenched in every Australian state and territory, IMPERSONATING “police”.
REMEMBER the LESSONS and KNOW YOUR ENEMY, folks, so you don’t have to RE-LEARN it all over again. Leopards DON’T CHANGE THEIR SPOTS, and these MONGREL BASTARDS have NOT BACKED DOWN one single inch.
The UN works by agreement, they say their world government will go through all the issues and if local ( Australian ) politicians want to offload all their responsibilities all they have to do is “take advice” from the UN. The local politicians excuse for everything now is that they have “taken advice” and they use this constantly. In other words they sign on to be puppets of every damn thing they can think of. They want the money but they can’t take the heat.
Some of you people need to do more study . You talk about the UN . Was Majority owned by the Rothschilds , of course now the C in C. Controls all . For gods sake wake up .
Mr Vaughn, I was trying to make a point, you people shouldn’t make more load for yourselves.
Mr Coleman
It is recorded in the gov archives if you or anyone else bother or even want to look.
If that’s an attempt at rebutting my comment you didn’t do it very well.
There was no need to anyway.
For some reason you appear to have construed my comment as a personal attack. It wasn’t.
I already know about the abandoned nuclear power station project. And other failed (blocked by the same Malthusians) attempts that would have ensured our economy continued to thrive.
My simple point was they only want to destroy our industries, NOT to enhance them by providing them with efficient, reliable and inexpensive nuclear power.
I simply tried to explain to others here (via replying to your comment), who either cannot see or, simply refuse to see the elephant in the room: The reason why the humanity loathing governments (under the direct control of Malthusian oligarchs such as Rothschilds, Rockafellas, King Charles, the WEF, UN, et al; are opposed to efficient, economically viable (with true zero emissions) alternatives.
Their despicable agenda has nothing to do with CO2 emissions or ‘saving the planet’ but destroying our industrialized societies which enable us to enjoy freedom. Freedoms which the unelected, self-appointed ruling class billionaires have decided we’re not entitled to so, they will use the ‘climate change’ ruse as (false) justification for their totally useless windmills and solar farms. Which, disturbingly, the majority of the dumbed-down plebes believe without question, are a clean/green alternative to coal, gas or oil derived energy but in reality: will allow the misanthropic oligarchy to enslave us all under their global totalitarian regime.
They have also been fully indoctrinated through relentless lies and fear propaganda to believe that nuclear energy is ‘too dangerous’. Utter bullshit of course.
Many, even most of the supposedly ‘awake’ folk still think our governments pushing the proliferation of the renewable nonsense are just ignorant, incompetent fools who are out of their depth.
Nothing could be further from the truth. They know exactly what they’re doing: Deliberately destroying our industrialized (capitalist) societies and whole way of life to impoverish and enslave us all under their dystopian brave new clean green, ‘Net Zero’ world.
brianajnz: “Mobilifonitis rabbiting on and incorrectly using the term fascism again”
No he’s not, he’s spot on. China is certainly no longer “communist”, never mind the label of the Chinese Communist Party. China’s Maoist communist totalitarianism is today a hybrid form of capitalism and socialism, much more akin to fascist authoritarianism.
They flicked it over while we wuzn’t watching but the M$M still likes to feed us the BS because it’s Money Merchant masters still need enemies to keep their TRILLION $$$$$ deals going.
How many French or American subs did we want this week? How about some aircraft carriers or a missile manufacturing or space exploration industry while the rest of our industry is spinning down the gurgler?
How are we going to have WW3 if we have no enemies to send our kids to fight and die against while the Money Merchants count the beans coming in? We have to have enemies for that, and the 100 years of brainwashing says Chinese and Russian “Communist aggression” makes pretty credible patsies.

Mr Vaughn, last century Australia was headlong into building a nuclear reactor and then a power station.
Something happened and it was shutdown almost overnight.
It wasn’t the UN. It was on the orders of one Baron Rothschild.
It is recorded in the gov archives if you or anyone else bother or even want to look.
Wow Tony Mobilifonitis your game getting between the squatter and a dollar.
It’s rumoured the Old Hale School boy will be grounding his highly polluting jet and flying economy class to the Alps next year.
Nah not really, that would be sending the wrong signals to the big boys.
He’s got big eggs and maybe has something up his sleeve to squeeze some unsuspecting dollar from the public purse, all in the name of philanthropy, because he loves us, all seven billion of us, now eight, going on 500 million 👌🏿
Private public partnerships are one big financial, orgy with the e-lice and their political one night stands.
Entwined in twisted avaricious freakish action, he, they might see a potential dollar in piping green house gasses because they’re clean and green y’know, east then south and starting with you Dumbbo, build gas fired power stations to supply electricity at 50 cycles per second, give or take plus or minus two % cause that’s the AUSTRALIAN way enshrined in by laws, to provide base load power, to enable his, their solar farm’s inverters and wind turbines to synchronise on his their, they, yours, mostly his probably, I dun no, transmission network, national grid, to sell you green clean super charged, fast moving electrons that will cost you a dollar, to make him, them a dollar, with the billions you paid for him, them to build pipe lines n power stations in the first place, that could have a dollar milked in the form of entry / exit fees by your friendly States and Territories governments as gas and electrons crisscross borders.
How many electrons will I get for a dollar you might ask?
How long is a piece of string I might reply, but the more resistance you put up, the more friction the angry little buggers create, then the more you pay in compensation to the likes of you know who, him, them shakers and movers.
He, they can smell it, the dollar tokens filling up his, their, them big green digital wallets, located in the luxurious private land of BIS.
John Andrew Henry Forrest (aka Twiggy) is mates with Zelensky. Says it all doesn’t it? Currently worth 33 billion, total grub he proves himself to be. Read his wikipedia built up page. He is far from Australian.

Mr Goss, the question is why are the politicians not behind nuclear. Is it just a party consensus or overseas pressure.
It’s both.
They’re (the UN and WEF who control everything in this Godforsaken world) not in favour of it because IT WORKS.
Their goal is to totally destroy all heavy industry, thus the economy and impoverish and enslave us all under their central totalitarian global dystopian regime.
Laughable renewables, which they know don’t and never will generate reliable base load electricity – essential to Western civilization’s industries is the perfect weapon to achieve their evil, society destroying goal by stealth
Fool the masses into believing there’s a ‘climate crisis’ unfolding, and its ALL OUR FAULT so, make the gullible plebs think they care about the environment by replacing reliable and efficient power generation i.e. coal or gas fired power stations with technology that would be lucky to power a campsite on a good day but the propaganda has most of them believing it’s the perfect solution to the nonexistent problem of global boiling or the alleged climate change ‘crisis’.
It’s patently obvious to anyone still capable of thinking critically but mind boggling how most people still can’t see what they’re actually doing to us.
Just keep swallowing the green Kool-Aide and of course, continue to gleefully comply with their ridiculous, dehumanizing mandates without question.
Same Playbook of LIES they deployed to control us with the nonexistent ‘deadly pandemic’.
Mr Goss, the question is why are the politicians not behind nuclear. Is it just a party consensus or overseas pressure.
One day when people look back they will realised that destroying the Australian economy, lifestyle and culture via the renewables hoax was part of the stealthy and evil plan which led to WW3.
For those who can’t see the Forrest through the twiggy, if Andrew did not exist, the Greens would have had to invent him. He is so bizzare he is an original climate nutter. Yes. Root and branch, bough and bole, I fear Twiggy was born that way.

Wind turbines and PV solar panels cannot be synchronised to the grid.
Yes brian and for the umpteenth time the proponents of the fairytale fake energy i.e. our WEF / UN subservient treasonous, lying governments, are all well aware of that and it’s the very reason they want the shit and promote its infestation across the world with taxpayer funded subsidies.
They DON’T give a rat’s arse about emissions or ‘saving the (perfectly normal / healthy) planet’ but they want everyone to believe there is a catastrophic ‘climate crisis’ in progress, which is, according to their hysterically conveyed doom & gloom propaganda: dangerously close to causing mass-extinction of all species and, it’s ALL OUR FAULT.
Their true goal is to deindustrialize our capitalist societies by deliberately depriving it of its vital electric energy. They know the useless 12th century windmill technology cannot do what you keep saying, nor can even more laughable ‘solar farms’. This useless technology does not work and NEVER WILL. And they KNOW THIS!
AND THAT’S WHY THEY WANT IT. If they really were concerned about emissions and glow-bull warming, there are very reliable alternatives that can and already do provide reliable base load (continuously synchronized with the grid) electricity to our modern societies, which produce ZERO emissions of anything, let alone CO2 or other nonexistent fairy dust they insist (without any supporting evidence), causes ‘climate change’. However, those alternatives will ENHANCE industry, thus facilitate more wealth and above all: more FREEDOM for all citizens so, they can’t allow that!
They are DELIBERATELY and successfully destroying our whole industrialized society and our way of life. by stealth.
The average dumbed-down and laughably stupid ‘normie’ believes what they say about those alleged dangerous, planet and life threatening ‘fossil fuels’ and CO2 emissions causing climate change or now the UN’s latest buzzword: ‘global boiling’ thus believe their intentions to save our planet are genuine. They believe too that we must ban all fossil fuel sourced energy. They’re hopelessly brainwashed.
It’s a massive ruse and most people fall for it, because their scientific knowledge could easily be summarized on the back of a matchbox.
IOW: the society destroyers prey on their ignorance. They also know the normies rely on television for all of their information thus their knowledge about most things is either nonexistent or just WRONG. The average TV educated ‘normie’ is very easy to convince to believe without question, anything they see / hear on TV.
Therefore sadly, most of them believe the black doom & gloom fairy tales currently being relentlessly propagated by the UN / WEF’s complicit LYING mainstream media sources (mainly TV), about so-called glow-bull
warmingboiling and the government’s ‘clean green’ alternative energy ‘solutions’, which YES, cannot be synchronized to the grid – thus they hope will ultimately and irreversibly destroy western society’s industries, our economy and our whole way of life.That’s the UN’s plan and has been all along. And as long as the normies don’t know that it is their real plan but keep believing their ‘climate crisis’ lies and continue to swallow their green Kool-Aide, they will definitely succeed.
You don’t need to take your shoes off to count the brain cells of these green climate clowns.

Twiggy was going to start a solar powered steel mill up north, why doesn’t he show us that. As for the electric cars, why don’t they do one with a solar panel on top, for when you leave it parked at work all day during peak sunlight. As for CO2 why do they say “trees lock up CO2”, why do they avoid saying “Trees are made from C02”. I guess the answer to all 3 questions could be “because they’re full of shit”
Mobilifonitis rabbiting on and incorrectly using the term fascism again.
He should be criticising our democracies for getting us into the mess we are in.
Wind turbines and PV solar panels cannot be synchronised to the grid.
It is about as smart as not using a much cheaper and simpler idea. It is called nuclear energy. It is common sense but with the green idiots if their common sense was lard they would never be able to oil a small frying pan.
