We have to make sure we are transitioning to a low carbon economy and doing everything we can to ensure we will have that renewables balance to ensure we are protected. Citizens want us to ensure they will have the energy supply they need and to which they have a right. It is up to us, as legislators, to ensure that supply. In tandem with that, we have an obligation to meet our 2030 and 2050 targets. We need to put in place the policy direction to do it through the use of renewable energy.
