Is this an ideal energy transformation?

I don't think we know the answers to all questions about global warming and so forth. We think we're going to need a lot of hydrocarbon for a long time although we are strong supporters of the world's moving away from them. You can't close coal plants until you get the electricity from where it's generated to the customer.

You have to build the foundation first. And that foundation is around building the high-voltage  -the transmission system. That's the foundation that then allows us to build incremental renewable resources and move it to our many countries in Europe, where we serve as an energy headhunter.

Again, the reason we can do it is we've built the foundation through transmission, the substantial investment that we Highlighted above, and then followed up with very specific investments on the renewable side.

Because, as people discuss carbon, they often go to coal units, how many have been closed. And there's no important question that can be an important metric. But it is a transition. And we have very much focused on transitioning from the existing structure to renewables, using transmission.

We have not become overly dependent on transitioning to gas. Over a period of time, coal units will retire.

One existing system which, can be a desired solution?
