'No turning back' on energy transition, says US Energy Secretary

Regardless of who is actually occupying the White House, this transition is happening. It is happening in the United States at the sub national level and with the private sector and with Ng OS. It is happening globally with countries that you all represent who are not turning back. The absence of leadership in the White House does not mean that this energy transition is stopped. In fact, I would say to countries who might see the US stepping back from climate policy as a reason to step back themselves, I would say to the contrary, this is the time to accelerate, to fill that gap that may be left by leadership in the United States. But truly, this transition is happening, and there's no turning back.
