I thank our guests for coming in and for their work.

I will start with the Friends of the Earth and Mr. MacEvilly. The word "unabated" is very problematic because to me it means change without change and pretending that we can continue, and that we do not need to stop using fossil fuels and we do not need to leave them in the ground. This all relies on carbon capture and storage technology. What is the current status of that technology? Has it been proven to work at the scale necessary to abate greenhouse gas emissions from the use of fossil fuels?
