That is very interesting. It strikes me that over the last six months, Britain has produced more solar electricity than coal electricity for the first time ever while we do not even have a solar power sector in the State yet. The opportunity for rural areas to tap into that is massive. Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice is next and has ten minutes. I ask that he allow the majority of that time for the answers.
