Virginia Crosbie: Nuclear power will be absolutely critical to hitting our Net Zero targets

You have to have something to keep the Grid going when renewable sources falter, and the alternative is coal.

Alexander Stafford: Renewables – not just providers of green energy, but enablers of levelling up

We should be increasing our export ambitions and the support that government gives companies in entering these global markets.

Simon Fell: We can revitalise the North after Covid-19

We should be aggressively backing UK manufacturing, science and green tech as a key plank of our recovery.

David Gauke: Big Government is back. It didn’t work before. It may not now. Here’s why we should be wary of it.

Post-Covid, the environment is likely to be egalitarian and interventionist. For libertarian, small state Eurosceptics, this must come as a disappointment.

Lois Toole: The future of the North East lies in clean energy, not coal

Darren Grimes’ proposal to re-open the mines would produce fewer jobs, attract less investment, and sell our region short.

Darren Grimes: Since we must use coal, why import it all – when we could instead create jobs by mining it in the North-East?

In 2018, just to transport 4.7million tonnes of Russian coal was equivalent to a whopping 130 jumbo jets whizzing, non-stop, around the globe for a year.

Tony Lodge: Britain’s creaking, outdated energy system has been exposed by this crisis. It’s time for a greener future.

Plus: As of writing, I’ve had hardly any communications at all from constituents about the Coronavirus.

Andrea Leadsom: The legacy that I’ve left my successor at the Business Department

Our priorities were: tackling global climate change, solving Grand Challenges and making the UK the best place in the world to work and to grow a business.

Our survey. Over half of Party members give a thumbs-up to fracking – so dissenting from Johnson’s manifesto.

They don’t believe that the Government’s moratorium on it is justified by the evidence about safety.

Reshuffle 3) Chris White: It isn’t just Ministers who get fired. A third of SpAds are set to lose their jobs.

There will be some bruised personalities on the backbenches who will need careful managing over the next few months, and I hear that Spencer is already on the job.

Tim Morris: Freeports will be transformational – with the right approach

To make the most of the policy’s potential, Government must pair it with a raft of other reforms.

Tony Lodge: Britain’s dirty emissions secret – carbon leakage. Here’s what it is and how to tackle it.

We must now consider targeting particular carbon intensive goods and power supplies which are imported and carry a large transport and transmission footprint.
