Solar power is growing at 20% a year. That simple fact could change the world for the better in under a decade
Commitments have been made to cybersecurity, defence and certain gaps in STEM education and workforce – but much remains to be seen this year once we review the national priorities.
Two billion to subsidise green hydrogen sounds like a lot. But the world is racing ahead and we’re still at the starting line.
The government is considering blending hydrogen into the UK gas network.
Everything from ice rinks to crowded public places is a potential source of home heating.
Promising new green steelmaking techniques won’t work with our main iron ore exports. We must future proof this key industry.
Climate models embed colonial attitudes and massive inequality.
National strategies depend on natural methods to offset emissions – but acknowledge this may not be possible.
