My point is that the concept that gas is a clean energy is being challenged by the environmental experts who are saying we must take much more urgent action to reduce carbon emissions. Today the European Investment Bank postponed a decision on whether to divest from gas. My point is that policy is moving in an obvious direction and it is not in favour of increased investment in gas production of any type. Are our guests aware that the European Investment Bank has decided to postpone a decision on whether to divest from gas? Do they see it as a vote of no confidence in the use of gas as an alternative fuel?
