That is exactly my point. When the Minister goes for the big winds, he will wind up with an energy surplus.

The Minister has a target in the climate action plan of 1 million electric vehicles, EVs, by the end of the decade. At the rate of progress to date, is that likely to be achieved?

The second part of the question relates to hydrogen. The Minister, quite rightly, mentioned hydrogen because that could be a transportable type of energy and used for energising heavy goods vehicles, railway vehicles, etc. Will we achieve the 1 million EVs by the end of the decade? When will we start producing hydrogen at scale on this island?
