It is very interesting. It has been announced that the fiscal rules will not be returning in 2023, if they return in their current incarnation at all. We have seen the issues with energy security and the requirement for that bulk of funding from the Green New Deal coming from a national level. This is evidence that we need to hasten our transition away from fossil fuels. Will Dr. McQuinn comment on that and will he comment on the issue of the fiscal rules more generally?
