And the second message is, it works.

All our power systems had been designed having in mind fossil power plants.

And this is not a problem.

I mean, this is just history.

This is what we have developed all over the world.

So if we want to run a system which is driven by renewable sources but intermittent sources, planning is absolutely crucial.

Public policies are crucial.

But we prove in Uruguay that it's the best solution and it works.

That's it.

Nothing more than that.

It's not just having renewable electricity.

It's much more than that.

It's to ask ourselves every day, why am I buying something?

Why am I consuming something?

And what makes me happy?

And I'm very happy of living in this country and not consuming fossil fuels or impacting the climate.

But this is not enough.

This is just one part of our road.

And we should focus much more on

the way we consume and the way we transport ourselves.
