Absolutely not.
I think we need to be very, very careful that we don't start this environmental weaponising, as we refer to, during the week.
It can't be an either-or.
You know, we need to ensure... 23% of electricity consumption... When I read the headlines during the week, David, I thought it was after increasing by 23% the way it was being reported in headline news.
It had increased 1%.
And I think where we need... It had increased by one percentage point, which is a different thing.
One percentage point.
Sorry.
OK, well, correct me.
But I think what we need to look at here is how...
data centres have become a fundamental part of our economy.
They're supporting almost 200,000 jobs, 20,000 jobs directly, and they have an important part to play.
There's other member states in Europe that have heavy industry and energy dependency, the likes of Germany on steel, Sweden on forestry, and we need them.
And it's not an either-or part.
And if I look at even my own county, where we've seen collaborations with large multinationals and local landowners, they're working, they're bringing investment to an area
They're putting massive pressure on the electricity grid, which isn't up to scratch.
And we need to remain competitive and we need to ensure that we have an economy that is working for people and providing that opportunity to grow.
If we have the houses and don't have the jobs, or we have the jobs and don't have the houses, it's not an either or.
We need all of this.
We may not have the jobs, are there?
