I think the sector knows it has to go zero-carbon. It is committed to science-based targets. It would be willing to work in a country and with a Government with a similar view and which facilitates the use of renewables, the use of storage, the use of biomethane and the use of district heat to get zero-carbon developments. That is where the industry is going to go. It is challenging because it is new, it is different and it is at the cutting edge of what can be done, but that is what we should do and what we will do. I find that the industry gets that. We are all on phones all the time. That is the data centre. That is where it is being used. Its customers will rightly say they want that to be sustainable, and not part of the climate problem. The industry gets that.
