It competes.

You know, you have it in the UK also as a part of your strategy.

And I think that I hope that using the same policy instruments, so yes, subsidies, but also smarter solutions like contract for difference models where you share the insecurity and the risk and investments between the producers and the state.

That's one of the ways to make sure that these new technologies will grow.

Yes, I do think so.

But I will also say it's an imperative for us.

We need it.

I mean, we spoke about dependencies earlier related to energy, but we also have other dependencies.

Information.

Big tech companies are controlling more than governments today in the world.

This is a problem, I think.

So we cannot only rely on American tech companies that are physically placed elsewhere in the world.

We also need our own.

And of course, data centers is a part of that.

I will also add to that, that actually AI can be very, very helpful and digitalization also on a more simple level can be very helpful in us being more efficient in our energy systems.

Actually, we can save a lot in the expansion of grids, but just using what we have more rationally and AI can help us there.

Having said all of this, it is a huge challenge because the energy consumption of these centers right now, if I'm not mistaken, it's around 2.5% of our energy consumption in the EU and that's set to double within the next five years.

It's not a small thing.

What we're working on now in the European Union is to set the standards for energy efficiency to make sure that we also incentivize that the data centers use, for instance, the excess heat.

Is it a problem that a data center uses a lot of energy?
