Yes, I agree with you, she has made public utterances that seem further separated from her STEM education as she advanced her political career.
I'm hoping that her return to DeFRA will take her out of the front line, (deputy PM was clearly several grades beyond her competence), and let her continue the work that previously gained the approval of the EA.

there's a surprisingly balanced article about her appointment in the guardian. I can't say I'm optimistic but at least she won't be as bad as the last guy.

At the very least, having already spent 3 years at DeFRA there shouldn't be an extended fallow period as a newbie aquaints themselves with the issues.
The sunset clause on EU legislation might be more of a threat to the environment.
