The idea was that they would be told you have to produce 80% of, you have to produce your own electricity.
So you can't be dragging from what we're generating.
You have to generate electricity.
How do you generate electricity?
You generate it by gas generators or by wind or by solar.
They're being told that
they'll have to provide their electricity, 80% of it through wind or solar renewables.
They've been given a six-year lead-in time for that.
So in the meantime, they can bang up a gas generator and burn gas away.
And the CO2 that comes from that, when we're talking greenhouse gas emissions, that doesn't disappear after six years.
That's there forever.
And then as they go on,
You'll still have that kind of 20 percent.
They can still rely on fossil fuels.
And 20 percent of something very large is very large.
So this is an ongoing issue.
Yeah, and it's not, I mean, these will be mainly down the line, offshore wind hopefully will provide so much electricity that there'll be no fights.
In the meantime, we have an awful lot of onshore wind farms and we're going to need quite a lot more.
And we also, a lot of the ones that are there sort of 25, 30 years are coming to end of life and they're going to have to be repowered.
So there's a lot of work to be done on onshore wind at the minute and also solar.
