Good morning Professor Indo,
Yes you are unquestionably the leading world Fortescue expert, hence the endowment of the honorary professorship!
Mate, those recent posts you have gifted us are the most valuable to date, succinct and informative. Thankyou sir. They answered so many questions that have been floating around in my brain. They have managed to draw together a big picture overview of an ever increasing, carbon reducing operation of epic proportions.
Please pardon my I.T. ignorant incompetence, but do you know if these posts are downloadable and if so, how? They would be inspiring references to dive in to if the spirits are ever weighed down by all the repressing bulls@%t in the news!
Humanity can be so rubbish and at times so inspiring...the great conundrum!
Mate, one operation which I had high hopes for was the green hydrogen and fertiliser hookup with Incitec Pivot. Do you know if is still alive? I know it was put on hold due to us being unable to access green electricity at a price to make the operation viable. I know they were in talks with Genex to provide green electrons from nearby.
Down the track, I wonder if a Gladstone green hydrogen suplied generator on Gibbo Island is a possibility, Gladstone's not too far away, and with our armada of green hydrogen powered tankers rapidly approaching (I hope!)....dream on baby!
... Any thing seems possible with our mighty F... M... G.!
Fortescue is such a dynamic rapidly evolving organism, it makes waking up everyday an exciting adventure!
Some people have expressed concerns that if Twiggy dropped off the twig,
and I, of course, hope he remains in rude good health for many decades to come
, Fortescue would collapse. However I suspect we have a natural succession plan heir apparent in Dino. He sometimes seems like a Twiggy junior with his similar vocal cadence and his boyish enthusiasm. Waddaya reckon mate?
Thanks again Tony. You've really got my brain buzzing with all that uplifting info. Goodonya mate, Wes
