I'm trying to understand this. We've got a strong public case for these technologies, for alternative energy. There's a strong economic case. Various streams mean different things, but the economics, the return on investment, we've been talking about consistently this morning, and with other technologies as well. There's an obvious environmental case to be made, as well as competitiveness with our major trading partners.
Can anyone on the panel explain why, with those four key elements of public interest, the government is refusing to support these technologies? I'm trying to find a reason. If it makes economic sense, if it makes environmental sense, if it makes the country more competitive and more energy secure, and if it creates jobs that we need in manufacturing, I can't find a stream of logic within the government's decision to say this is exactly the kind of industry they will not fund, and they will fund other things of much more suspicious intent.
