Locations where it's possible to have it _ the risk is, as you mentioned, l it's a challenge, an engineering challenge, to handle that amount of heat and amount of energy, i but it's still fairly solvable, j it's solved in a lot of power plants, so i think we'll see more and more of them, i but the scale is really hard. it's hard to scale that up to cover huge amount i of the world's energy needs. you'll cover percentages, but you're not going - to cover 100% of the world. the world is a big battery, but it's hard to harvest it. | thank you so much. i'm going to come back to the room here at t...

To my right there. jane sutton from the royal academy of engineering. just on your point about balancing demand. a few years ago, there was a lot of chat about a european super grid to share renewable electricity, and we've even had a presentation from somebody who was looking at a global super grid. do you think that's possible? would it be helpful to balance demand in different parts of the world? i actually want to let danielle take that one. a global super grid sounds like your sort of scale with your quarter of a kilometre wind turbines. yes, thank you. what do you think? i'm so glad this...

I'm going to come back to the room here at the victoria and albert museum and see if there are any questions. and there's one over to my right there. thank you. jane sutton from the royal academy of engineering. just on your point about balancing demand. a few years ago, there was a lot of chat about a european super grid to share renewable electricity, and we've even had a presentation from somebody who was looking at a global super grid. do you think that's possible? would it be helpful to balance demand in different parts of the world? i actually want to let danielle take that one. a global...

Around the world compared to what you have _ with geothermal power. so i think we'll see more - and more geothermal power on the various locations - where it's possible to have it. the risk is, as you mentioned, it's a challenge, _ an engineering challenge, - to handle that amount of heat and amount of energy, - but it's still fairly solvable, it's solved in a lot of power plants, so i think we'll see| more and more of them, i but the scale is really hard. it's hard to scale that up to cover huge amount i of the world's energy needs. you'll cover percentages, but you're not going - to cover 10...
