I will stop the witness there. Anything could be financially viable but this is a private commercial project, first and foremost. My question is, as a commercial private project, is it fighting against science and an evolving policy? The policy here has changed since the project started in that we have banned fracking. Is it possible there will be further policy changes? As the witnesses implied, there is an urgent need to become less dependent on fossil fuels so we can reach emission reduction targets. As a project that could span 30 years or even longer, is the viability of the project fighting science and an evolving policy?
