-----not only for our balance of payments because we would not have to import fossil fuels but there is also the energy security aspect and the decarbonisation and climate change aspects. There are many wins in this. It is important that we push ahead as quickly as we can while, at the same time, not spend money unwisely and not make unwise investment decisions for the sake of rushing it. We all want to see more energy. We have this enormous potential. It is being spoken about now in a way that is different to five years ago or even three years ago. We have it and not every country has it so let us harness it. If there are challenges, barriers and blockages that Mr. McGarry knows of, perhaps he can let us know about them more than he has done.
