Use subsidies, yes, for sure.

I'm all for that.

Subsidies is not a great thing to have as a long-standing measure, but

To get something up in scale and down in price, it can work.

Now, many countries will see now that actually solar does not need these subsidies because it's so cheap.

So it's more about making sure that you have the grid expansion and very, very important point.

I know you struggle with this in the UK also, permitting times.

It takes way too long to get a permit to build a new solar park or to build new grids.

It's so reliable.

So it's probably not up to me to answer on behalf of the government in the UK, but I do like the question.

You could be prime minister tomorrow.

So, tidal and wave energy, it has a huge potential, but it's still minute compared to our other energy sources.

But I do actually think that this is one of the technologies that will grow rapidly in the years to come.

We will need different types of policy instruments like the ones we used previously.

when wind technology was new.

By the way, offshore wind that now competes even with coal and gas in price.

Denmark built the first offshore wind park back in 1991.

And then people were just shaking their heads at how naive idealists we were spending money on something as stupid as that, because surely it's way too expensive to produce energy that way.

Now,

It's used all over the world.
