Comparing
me to Donald Trump ... [Laughter.] ... is an insult; simple. So, I give you the freedom to insult me because the privilege of Parliament gives you that right. But the reality of the matter is that our department is not a lobby group for a particular technology, it regulates energy supply. We are preoccupied with security of that supply. Hence we talk about just transition that there is no where in the international convention where we should move like a pendulum; from one extreme to the other. So, we are not going to do that. We are going to be systematic. That's why the Integrated Resource Plan, IRP ... which you must read ... made provision for the various technologies. It is very systematic if you look at the number - what will happen by 2030. You will see that we are moving systematically in that transition but we aren't writing off any technology, including coal.
If you read the IRP, when it talks about coal, it puts a rider that it must shift towards cleaner coal energy technologies. The reason why we added that rider is because we were taking into account our climate change commitments as a country. [Applause.]
