I'm happy to have a discussion with you about some of those assertions because I don't believe them to be correct, but I accept that there is a bit of political rhetoric. This government has been very clear about the importance of acting on climate. We have brought forward an ambitious policy on that. You will see in this budget also our commitment to the transition in our economy. You made a number of assertions there about PRRT which I don't accept. We have reformed this measure because we think that is justified. I've explained to you the various policy objectives that have to be balanced in that. But it is not the only thing we are doing in the energy space. We do, as a country, have to transition. We do, as a country, have to reform. We do, as a country, want to be a renewable energy superpower, and we are committed to ensuring we do all we can to deliver that.
