People can see that right the way across the country.

That is our own clean energy, sustainable energy.

And we need to reduce our dependence on fossil, which we're doing for many reasons, energy security, price and climate.

There are sectors that are more difficult.

If you look at the heavy goods vehicles, that's a nut that we do have to crack.

But on transport, to be fair, you'll see, particularly with electrification of private cars, that is increasing year on year substantially.

And that's recognised in these projections, where actually the emission reduction in transport is projected up to 28%.

Yes.

Yeah, based on the numbers that we're seeing.

Yeah, we're nowhere over.

We're about 227,000 actually at the moment.

And EVs have overtaken in the first quarter of this year, both petrol and diesel combined.

It is, yeah.

But what the target was actually was 30% of the national fleet, for argument's sake, of the national private car fleet.

And actually, these projections are showing that we're going to be very close to that.

And I think that there are the supports that government give in relation to grants for EVs as well.

But people themselves are making that change themselves because of the volatility in fossil.

And you see, our transition to electrification is good for our economy and good for our climate.

And many of our people are actually seeing this as an opportunity, not something that's being imposed on them.

I'm glad you raised that.
