Mr. Michael Manley:

The climate action plan sets a target of 70% renewables by 2030. The remaining 30% will partially consist of fossil fuels. However new emerging technologies, particularly around storage of hydrogen, will bring about a change there.

There are two other points I would like to make. First I will quote a figure; oil systems used to make up about 36% of our central heating systems. That has now decreased to 5%. That is a massive change in a very short period and it is directly related to regulations. Regarding labour supply, we must realise that about 60,000 people come out of the second level system every year. Between now and the end of 2030 that will add up to about 650,000 people, to which migration and returning emigrants can be added. Some of us will leave the labour force in that period. We need to make it an attractive career proposition and provide training.

The climate action plan, in both the funding under the NDP and the clear message about the long-term objectives, gives us strength.
