Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Therefore, either the Government or private sector must implement storage. Delays will create crises. If we suppress renewables, fuel and coal costs will rise. Please prioritize increasing renewable energy. If we cannot harness free sunlight, discussing other ambitions is futile. I conclude with that request.
