\u201c\u2026  wrote off $244 million in clean energy spending<\/a> \u2026\u201d after Trump 2024 Election win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Sue me\u2019: Forrest says Trump is telling lies on climate<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jessica Gardner<\/a><\/strong> United States correspondent<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington<\/em> | Mining billionaire Andrew Forrest has accused United States President Donald Trump of lying about climate change as he pilloried the White House\u2019s pivot away from renewable energy to polluting fossil fuel sources.

\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s real damage being done to people\u2019s lives all over the world by your president propagating a complete myth that global warming is not happening. That\u2019s wrong. That\u2019s utterly wrong,\u201d Forrest said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYour administration \u2026 it\u2019s put a bet on the oldest, tiredest horse on the line, which is fossil fuel,\u201d he told the event hosted by the New York Times<\/em>. \u201cAnd by the way, all these other horses are fit, lean, they\u2019re getting stronger every day, which is renewable energy, renewable technology, storage, everything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company\u00a0wrote off $244 million in clean energy spending<\/a>\u00a0after halting more than $1 billion worth of hydrogen projects, according to its annual financial disclosure in August.

In addition to the $244 million Andrew \u201cTwiggy\u201d Forest had to write off over his failed clean energy schemes, Twiggy\u2019s resource companies have likely been impacted by President Trump\u2019s import tariffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making belligerent speeches aimed at President Trump seems to be the latest fashion in Australia\u2019s political and business circles. But I doubt President Trump can be bothered to remember who Twiggy is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The truth is the world is moving on without Australia. While the USA and Asia build the world of tomorrow, Australia\u2019s political and industry leaders are clinging to the failed green ideas of the past, desperately grasping at straws of international relevance, while pretending to the audience back home that Australia still matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
