00:00Ben, you're over from the UK. The observations, questions from people you spoke to, are they similar to what you've heard from similar projects in the UK, the difference? Can you explain a bit about that please?
00:17Yeah, it's been a really good afternoon of engagement. And just to come back to John's point, this is not only, as you said, about explaining our project, but it's also to hear people's concerns, people's views. And that's very much what I've been hearing that wide range from people who are strongly supportive to those who are frankly vehemently against it. And that's perfectly fine. That's everyone's entitled to their view.
00:41But a lot of people with genuine questions, interested about how things will work in practice. What does it mean for them as local residents? So it's been a really constructive conversation. I think probably one of the differences that I've noticed is because this will be the first offshore wind farm for the Isle of Man. Obviously, it's a new thing. There's a lot of unknowns for many people. So it's been a great opportunity to answer all those questions and do a bit of myth busting as well.
