I have a question on green hydrogen. I welcome the witnesses' comments. I think there is a risk with green hydrogen that we couple it with gas. The witnesses made a good point, that coal is a huge challenge here. I can see the temptation to inject green hydrogen into our national gas network. Maybe the witnesses are thinking about doing that with a conventional gas power plant. The risk of that is that one might lock in gas and have a slower decarbonisation pathway than we could otherwise achieve.
