Can we really adapt to such a world or is it beyond what's possible?
22:47
Well, first, I think we need to recognize that we are lucky that we have such a scenario in France, that the government has announced this trajectory because not many countries have done this kind of projection before.

or are organizing national resilience in this way.

But yeah, it's important to say that even if it's not a very uplifting scenario to think about these four degrees, we have first of all to focus on our first priority, which is safety, right? Nuclear safety, but also hydraulic safety.
23:19
We must guarantee that in all scenarios.

And that's the reason why we have this very, very important internal expertise within EDF.
23:28
So I think we are probably one of the only companies that have this dedicated program climate service within our R&D department, but also bringing many specialists in EDF, for example, in the hydraulic division and more.
