it has been interesting to watch ursula von der leyen talk at davos last wake to say she would suspendte rules to do that. at brexit, europeans fought so hard to make sure u.k. couldn't break state aid rules. the commercial reality of these countries is, everybody is fighting for share. actually, we could be agile and nimble. one of the great challenges we have in britain is planning laws are incredibly slow. lots of local politicians do not want to have onshore wind pylons anywhere near their areas. they do not want to have solar panels, thus spoiling the green fields of britain. that is getting in the way at the moment. sure, we cannot compete on subsidies. we have to get much better at planning projects quickly. getting electrical vehicle charging infrastructure quickly. getting onshore wind farms quickly. that at the moment is holding up the british response. i hope the government will crack that thing open in the next year if we are going to compete. alix: great point. it is the same in the u.s. you can talk all you want about funding, but unless you get pipes in the ground it is
