I thank the witnesses for attending the meeting. I will watch the rest of the contributions later. Mr. Coghlan raised a point that I am interested in, which is trying to invert the carbon model we have and a localised exporting model into the grid. That is very exciting. Perhaps he will outline what other countries are doing to try to facilitate that or what is happening in terms of pipeline solar technology. I read Jeremy Rifkin's book recently on inverting the entire economic model and how that will transform society. If we are not at the forefront of that, our economic model will disintegrate anyway.
