i would emphasise as well is that we have to look at wasting energy - as unacceptable. we can t waste energy in any form of action. i so when the energy is. going to be challenging to harvest at large scale, we re solving parts - of harvesting as much energy as we can in good ways, - and then we have - to use that energy as efficiently as possible. and before we open it up to questions, danielle, when it comes to the threat that climate change presents to us, who is going to do the heavy lifting? is it going to be the engineering or is it going to be the individuals? i think the biggest changes will happen at the country level. there s going to be a need for us, in terms of our public policy, to support these kind of technologies at scale. it will certainly develop and deliver lower cost solutions that are good for the individual, but the biggest challenge ahead of us isn t technology, it s public acceptance. it s support for improved
to see cost reduction. thank you so much, danielle. so we are now going to go to scotland, to alastair, who has a question about nuclear energy. alastair? hello, today we ve got representatives of wind and solar, which are often portrayed as the two examples of clean energy. but there are still huge challenges with the amount of land required and energy storage required challenges which aren t faced by existing nuclear power technology, something i would argue we really need to prioritise. i wonder if you think nuclear should form a key part of the clean energy mix, and should be a large part of the discussion today, and if not, how do we ensure we invest in and choose the most effective technologies that are going to make the biggest difference to stopping climate change? i m going to give that one over to kristian here. nuclear, it s a fair point, isn t it? we ve talked about wind, we ve talked about solar, we ve talked about ways of storing, but nuclear is here, and could do thejo
of us isn t technology, it s public acceptance. it s support for improved permitting and collaboration on changes to ensure that migration patterns for birds are known, and we don t site wind turbines in those areas or wind farms in that space. but there can tjust be a wholesale rejection of this technology because of the threat of something that would be negative. that collaboration is the real opportunity for us to work together. so it s a partnership, really, it s you delivering the technologies that make the future possible, and us adopting them and making the right choices to protect us from this growing threat. thank you so much. we re going to move to questions now. this is the engineers: clean energy. we ve been discussing the future of solar energy, wind power and electrical storage, and i;m going to ask who would like to ask a question of any of our clean energy initiatives.
