The Norwegians are also building floating offshore wind. We are thinking of 20 GW over the next decade, and somebody the other day told me 70 GW of offshore wind off the west coast of Ireland. In the timelines we are talking about, would that not set our course to say we have this massive wind resource, particularly the potential from floating wind off the west? We have the infrastructure in Moneypoint and elsewhere, should we not use offshore wind and start planning for that?
