The gas price has gone up, whatever is 26%, 27%.
The electricity price has gone up a far lower figure.
I think it was five or six, right?
Right.
So you're starting to see that security from renewables coming through.
And again, I'd say if you look at places like Spain, where they've gone further and harder on renewables, they are getting that extra benefit of cost insulation compared to say other countries like Italy, which are a bit less.
So I think renewables has changed and I think how people think about it's changed.
But I wouldn't lose sight of the climate part.
We don't seem to talk about that as much.
That is a factor.
It's been unbelievably hot in the last week in this country and they're also helping with that.
Your analysis on this, which we've got a bit on in the report as well, I think is great 'cause what you're saying is that there'll be even more of this insulation as you get more renewables on the system, which I think is a really important part of it.
But it is starting now.
It we are feeling the benefits now.
What we've got in the report on that is we've put some numbers in at the back of it for what you get for different technologies plus what you get for the system costs and the backup costs that they need.
So LCOE plus system and backup costs.
What we've got in there for offshore winds is we've got an LCE at around ninety, system backup takes about one thirty.
For gas, C C G T new would be around eighty, and you had about fifty for the carbon and a bit of system costs, and you get around one thirty.
So they come around at similar amounts, I think, all in.
There's a really in point home point to this, right?
