Germany is a net exporter of electricity and produces somewhat more electricity than it consumes. However, in terms of the resources that go into that production of electricity, everything comes from abroad. Let me correct that. We have some power plants that run on lignite, which is a very low-grade type of dirty fuel, coal. These are the only fossil fuels in a significant amount that we can take from within the country. A share of about 10% of our natural gas demand is also covered from domestic sources. Everything else, all the rest of the natural gas, all the rest of the coal, the hard coal in particular, and all the rest of the uranium, is imported.
