A global transition to cleaner energy sources could be the world\u2019s best opportunity to minimise the chance of global conflicts, the US energy secretary has told a major energy forum in Sydney.<\/p>
On Tuesday, US Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm told the Sydney Energy Forum that the transition to greener energy sources meant that no nation should be “kept hostage” over access to solar and wind resources.<\/p>
\u201cNo country has ever been held hostage to access to the sun. No country has ever been held hostage to access to the wind. They have not ever been weaponised, nor will they be,\u201d Granholm told the forum.<\/p>
“As a result, our worldwide shift to clean energy might be the greatest peace strategy of all.”<\/p>
\u201cWe want and need to move to clean energy, and we share this with Australia. We have ample sunshine and lots of land for solar and wind farms. Coasts with an opportunity for offshore wind skilled workforce.<\/p>
“However, we see our chance as clean energy exporters to play a part in delivering that peace plan to the globe,” Granholm continued.<\/p>
Granholm was speaking in the backdrop of a significant crisis affecting global energy markets, which was triggered principally by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\tSMART CITY DESIGN SOLUTIONS<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
