福蒂斯创始人安德鲁·福雷斯特表示，他相信如果唐纳德·特朗普重新夺回白宫的主导权，他将“追随金钱的流向”，并支持绿色能源。
福雷斯特博士在周三于Optus体育场举行的福蒂斯年度股东大会间隙发表讲话称，迄今为止，特朗普在绿色能源和化石燃料之间摇摆不定，但最终政策将由金钱决定。
他的这番言论是在特朗普看似有望为共和党赢得美国大选之际发表的，当时选票统计工作一直持续到凌晨。
“美国投资增长最快的领域一直是可再生能源，”福雷斯特博士表示。
“因此，他将保持这一经济引擎的持续运转。”
“他是个经济务实主义者，所以会追随金钱的流向，而资金正流向绿色能源。”
福雷斯特博士表示，他相信福蒂斯能够与美国人民选出的任何一位领导人合作，他“只是希望大选尽快尘埃落定”，以便为《通胀削减法案》提供更多政策明确性。
该法案涉及3690亿美元，对福蒂斯于5月开工的5.5亿美元亚利桑那州绿色氢能项目至关重要。

Fortescue founder Andrew Forrest is confident Donald Trump will ‘follow the money’ and back green energy should he win back the keys to the White House.
Speaking on the sidelines of Fortescue’s annual general meeting at Optus Stadium on Wednesday, Dr. Forrest said, Mr Trump had towed the line between green energy and fossil fuels to date, but that ultimately money would be a deciding factor for policy.
His comments came with Mr. Trump looking likely to win the US election for the Republican Party as votes were counted into the early hours of the morning.
“The biggest surge in investment which the US has had has been renewable energy,” Dr Forrest said.
“So, he is going to keep that economic engine rolling.
“He is an economic pragmatist, so he is going to follow the money, and the money is going into green energy.”
Dr Forrest said he was confident Fortescue could work with whoever the American people elected, and that he “just wanted to get the election out of the road” so more policy clarity could be provided around the Inflation Reduction Act.
That $US369 billion Act is important for Fortescue’s $550 million Arizona green hydrogen project which began construction in May.
