But of course, it will take some years, even decades.

Yeah, so that is true.

So we need to make sure that the refinery capacity that we have, which we need for the jet fuel supply,

is adequate and that the stocks that we have in reserves are adequate.

This goes, by the way, also for more widely used commodities like natural gas.

So in the European Union, we legislate on this and we try and coordinate as best we can.

This means knowing exactly who has how much, what are the inflows and outflows of the union.

On gas, we have the legislation on how much to store and when to store it, and we coordinate when member states buy it so that they get it as cheap as possible.

All of these things we're trying to work on to make the negative consequences as soft as possible.

But I do need to underline that we cannot lose focus of our main objective.

And that is to get rid of the black molecules and have some green electrons instead.

So electrification, more renewables as fast as possible, but also energy efficiency.

You being from Britain know this very well that there's huge potential both in buildings and in industry in electrifying and becoming more energy efficient.

And that's, of course, the cheapest source of energy.

That's the energy that you don't use.

First of all, it would be wrong to talk about the green transition as a transition that is expensive for us.

On the contrary, this will make energy cheaper for us.

We have paid 50 billion more for our energy without receiving one extra molecule since the crisis started in the Middle East.

That is unsustainable also economically.

Looking at what is the price of energy, the cheapest energy to produce today is solar, then it's onshore wind, offshore wind, and then it's gas and coal and nuclear.
