Oh absolutely, only even more so.

I've met some of our MPs in person, back when I had a career.

I will never, ever, forget the man - publicly elected - who for real asked why we don't put mini-propellers connected to dynamos all over EVs.

See, he'd noticed that whenever he drives his EV, the wind blows so why not let that wind power the car...
