In what may constitute good news for many green energy training apprentices, one environmental expert has claimed that there is a lot of talk about eco-friendly energy at the moment.
Lee Coates, director of financial advisory firm the Ethical Investors Group, said that if there is an agreement in Copenhagen in December, it will mean positive action for the entire green energy sector.
His comments follow an announcement from Tridos which claimed that the bank has continued to lend to renewable energy projects throughout the credit crunch.
"[An agreement at Copenhagen] will mean lots of people having to spend money on reducing carbon, which will mean those companies involved in helping to reduce carbon will be more profitable," stated Mr Coates.
He added that the profit is more likely to come from firms buying shares in green energy companies to help them expand, rather than from loans from banks.
