The speech gave a hint of new legislation that will bring forward reforms for the environment.
But what the industry thinks?
Great to see green jobs creation at the heart of the policy agenda
RenewableUK’s Head of Public Affairs Nathan Bennett said: “It’s great to see the government putting job creation and in particular the development of new skills and training at the heart of their policy agenda, as part of the green economic recovery after the pandemic.

HuffPost UK reader Sue asked: “Is there a test for the level of immunity after having the jab?”
There are a lot of things we know about Covid antibodies – but equally, many things we’re still in the dark about.
Antibodies are a type of blood protein produced when your body fights off a specific illness – so when you catch Covid-19, for instance, and your body manages to overcome it, you’ll produce antibodies that know how to fight the virus better next time so you hopefully don’t become as ill.
We know that in people who’ve been infected with the virus, antibodies last at least six months in their system. They might actually last longer, but because SARS-CoV-2 has only been knocking around for a relatively short amount of time, we can’t say for sure that people have protection longer than that.

It is reasonable to give particular scrutiny both to the style and content of a commentary by Jeremy Gordon published on an article issued last year in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Energy. This is sadly especially so, because what we see as Jeremy Gordon’s aggressive tone and superficial arguments display behaviour that is sadly growing among nuclear proponents.
These are worrying signs of a wider malaise in current nuclear debates. It is a growing problem in nuclear advocacy that those holding contrasting informed and measured views – or who simply question the comparative merits of nuclear power – are so often smeared as ‘anti-nuclear’.

Rachel Brazil looks into the dangerous world of chemical conspiracy theories and asks the experts what we can do about it
In the age of Covid-19, conspiracy theories are all around us. Some say the virus was created by the military, others blame symptoms on 5G technology and some even say the virus doesn’t exist at all. But conspiracy theories are not new. ‘They’ve always been a way of thinking that people turn to in times of crisis, when things are not clear,’ says social psychologist Karen Douglas from the University of Kent in the UK.
