> In 2021, he pledged to eliminate nearly all carbon emissions from Fortescue’s operations by 2030, investing heavily in solar and wind power, battery-powered transport, and green hydrogen technologies. Forrest has promoted the use of green ammonia as a carbon-free shipping fuel, launching the Green Pioneer, the first cargo ship partially powered by this technology. He regularly travels internationally to promote renewable solutions, meeting with scientists and world leaders, and has publicly challenged climate change denial, including statements by former U.S. President Donald Trump. His advocacy stems from both environmental concerns, shaped by his Ph.D. studies in ocean ecology, and his belief in the economic viability of renewable energy.[54]
> Forrest is a critic of net-zero emissions targets and has called on the world "to walk away from this proven fantasy [of] net zero 2050 and adopt real zero 2040".[55] Real zero means to completely eliminate fossil fuels by replacing them with zero-carbon alternatives. Forrest has committed US$6.2 billion to Fortescue’s plan to achieve real zero by 2030.
quasi stationary heavy equipment, which can practically be tethered to an outlet. electricity is a commodity they can keep pestering the municipality to go green for them. they probably don't operate shipping of their more bulk metals, except from that prototype. not to mention all the sales if everyone goes eletric.
i mean, his goal is awesome, and fossil is late to disappear. but damn he is a good salesman.
