And I think showing rather than telling is the key.

For example, we talked earlier about those electric cars, right?

Using that smart charging, it is six times cheaper to drive an electric car per mile than it is to drive a petrol car.

Now, politicians around the world worry about the cost of driving.

We've had fuel protests, Gilets Jaunes and so on.

The electric car actually isn't about techno-optimism because it's available right now, right here.

And they're only now, I think the premium in the UK is they're 6% more expensive to buy than a petrol car.

And some models are coming out where both electric and petrol versions are the same.

It's basically price parity.

They cost less to run.

There's virtually no servicing.

In China, by the way, an electric car is 20% cheaper than the petrol equivalent.

So the technology is now here.

By the way, the smartest form of electric charging we've got is where a battery in a car can go both ways.

As you said, powering houses and the grid.

If someone's got one of those cars, we give them 13,000 miles a year, 20,000 kilometers of free driving.

We shouldn't try to convince people of this.

We should be able to show it.

And increasingly now, I was at just a child's birthday event recently, and one of the grandparents was there.

They don't care.
