Will the green economy become a mainstream phenomenon?
Much of the infrastructure is in place. Overall, it will take 10 to 20 years. It will start off like the first mobile phones, the big, clunky things you hauled around. Five years later, 15pc of people had one and then, 10 years later, everyone had one. Maybe the first five years will be 'wow, look at that different car', then it will be mainstream. It will also happen in the home; it's an inevitable development.
