I will ask about a technical point relating to the grid and getting financing. Mr. Lefroy was talking about this. Does the grid need to be in place before we will be able to begin a project? Is it enough for the Government to say that by a certain date, we will have the grid in a particular state and that we will be able to onshore the energy at a certain point? How far progressed does that need to be before decisions can be made around financing and getting projects started?
