I think it is about having no regrets and it is also recognising the emergency in climate as much as energy security. I am thinking out loud but we are in a wartime situation and effectively in these kinds of situations things that ordinarily happen slowly and methodically actually happen quite quickly and they have to. We in the political system across Europe need to think carefully about that.

That is the end of our session. I thank all the members who asked very interesting questions and provoked very thorough and interesting answers from our witnesses. I thank our witnesses for coming today in great numbers. It is great to see people back in the committee room where we can have a better engagement. This is the first of a series of sessions on the big potential that is there and the challenges in delivering it. Hopefully it will be a worthwhile report when it is finished and it will inform Government and wider society.
