I will conclude. We should not take it out of the ground unless we have a State company that is doing it and controlling it, where we are guaranteed security of supply, community gain and proper consultation with local communities, and where it is taken out at a safe distance from human habitation so that there is no danger to communities or to the environment. Norway proves it is possible. It is not worth doing it if we do not act in that way because there is nothing in it for this country.
