I do not think I can give any certainty on that. All I can say is that, by 2050, we have a target of generating 37 GW of electricity offshore. At least 10 GW of electricity will be generated onshore by wind. There will probably be a considerable amount on top of that from solar too. Hopefully, at that point, we will have quite a large hydrogen economy and a large biofuel and biogas economy too. Looking at the ambition for where Ireland wants to be by 2050, at some point along that route, we will see a gradual reduction in the reliance on carbon-based fuels, which is a good thing.
