No, we need much more connections, including with the UK.

But if we were just 27 individual member states in the EU, we would pay between 30 and 40 billion euros more than we do.

So, I don't neglect that there's a far way to go.

I don't neglect that the prices are too high.

But if we were to follow a different path, and if we were to stop the green transition now,

That would be very, very irrational because what actually brings the prices down are indeed this transition.

So first of all, I think probably we need to acknowledge also that there's big differences between countries.

And I think the situation, I'm not an expert in British politics, but I think it's probably a little bit different here than in many European countries.

I think if you go to Spain, I don't think you'll have a problem selling goods.

The point that renewables are cheaper because they see that with their own eyes.

They were a country very, very hard hit in 22 because they were dependent on gas.

Now they've really managed to transition away and primarily renewables now and that has lowered their bills significantly.

And if you go to Italy, you'll see the opposite.

They are very, very dependent on fossiles and they pay very high prices.

And if you go to the southeast of Europe, you'll see many member states that are actually deploying a lot of renewables, but that are not gaining or harvesting the benefits because they're not enough connected to the rest of Europe.

So I don't really see that big of an opposition towards more renewables faster in Europe.

What I do see is some opposition to some of the tools that we are using.

Because one of the reasons why this is happening is also because we are making it more expensive to use fossils.

We have an ETS system, as you know, which is basically a tax.

It's not a tax, but it works like a tax on fossil emissions.
