Tony, y've done it again, gone and dug up another magnificent opal and shared it with the world! Thanks mate
Remember when all the Twiggy-haters were jumping up and down with glee,and still are, after a modification of our Hydrogen plans. Well, guess what? To use a mongrelized version of Paul McCartney's famous quote...."Reports of hydrogen's death have been greatly exaggerated"....A salient point you,Tony, made abundantly clear at the time.
The fundamental difference between The Twig and all the criticising clowns is.... our champ well understands the great Chumbawumba song "I get knocked down, but I get up again!". Mate, he grew up on his family's NW W.A. cattle station, he's got more of the tough gene in his little toe than the rest of them mob of whingers put together have!
Look at what Twiggy has already achieved,and still is, achieving. Them weak-as-p*ss critics are simply over indulging in the great Aussie tradition of the tall poppy syndrome. Fair dinkum, mate, all them armchair whingeing critics are just plain bloody jealous and pathetic!
Any high achievers understand the path to success is littered with failures. Ya just utilise failures to learn....kindergarten stuff!
121 hectares development project! 5000 freakin jobs! Now that's big. How can that have projections of profitability when it's not yet viable in Oz? Maybe it's utilising the old proverbial economies of scale principle.
Europe, in their drive to decarbonise, will provide massive demand. I wonder if an fid announcement for the Norwegian Holmansett hydrogen project has been announced yet? It's a challenge to keep up.
Also I guess the Pecem enterprise will employ technology developed at our Gladstone hydrogen hub.This is another stunning example of Fortescue's employment of vertical integration, somewhat reminiscent of the FZ contribution to our FL operations etc.....gee I'm glad we haven't spun off our mighty FZ! ....The greatest marketing ploy is to demonstrate products' functionality!
....
Sorry fellas, can't help meself!....farmers who diversify by having wind generators and solar farms on their properties still have an income during the lean days of droughts and floods. So will Fortescue if IO prices crash, especially if Andrew's vision of FE exceeding IO in income generation.
Mate, that gem of a story you provided for us was the first reading I did this morning, great start to the day! Thankyou sir, Wes
