Apart from the normal ones, I'd say no. I just think it's good to hear from different regions what they might be doing to address global concerns. I now know to cite Denmark as an example of where prohibiting new gas connections has worked without destroying the fabric of society.

By normal problems, I mean:

  • gas companies complaining about being constrained from harvesting more profit
  • boomers complaining about "freedom of choice", who usually think gas is still much cheaper than electricity when it isn't
  • whatever conservatives are saying because it looks like change
