But to the question, what has happened?
Why is it not as high on the agenda as it used to be?
Really, I struggle to find the explanation.
These things fluctuate.
In 2019, we had an election in Denmark where for the first time ever, climate change was the most important topic on the agenda.
Now we just had an election and it
was on the agenda, but certainly not the most important.
And it's not as if we've solved climate change in those years.
So why it is, it's difficult to say.
Okay, let's take a quick break and then back for more.
Well, first of all, I certainly don't neglect the worry that Matt has, but I will challenge you a little bit, Rory, because it's really not, you say, you posed a question by saying you as a politician.
Well, yes, you used to be a politician yourself also, and you know very well that just because we haven't solved the problem 100% is not the same as saying that what we're doing is not the right thing.
So yes, we do pay too much for our energy in Europe.
But fact of the matter is that had we not followed the route that we are on now, had we not deployed more renewables, we would pay far more.
Let me give you two numbers.
The IEA, International Energy Agency,
They have calculated that we save approximately 33 billion euros a year in Europe on electricity bills on newly deployed renewables.
So that's what comes on top of what we already have every year.
And ACER, the regulatory institution that we have in the European Union on energy that looks into energy prices, they say, well, probably more or less the same amount we save on being as internet connected as we are.
So, are we interconnected enough?
