Yesterday, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton delivered
a speech at Georgetown University on “Energy Diplomacy in
the 21st Century” where she outlined three pillars of America’s energy foreign
policy strategy: energy diplomacy; energy transformation; and energy poverty. (See
the details of those three pillars at the State Department’s Bureau of Energy
Resources.)
In her speech, Secretary Clinton made explicit ties between
energy and climate change:
“[E]nergy is essential to how we will power our economy and
manage our environment in the 21st century,” Secretary Clinton said. “We
therefore have an interest in promoting new technologies and sources of energy
– especially including renewables – to reduce pollution, to diversify the
global energy supply, to create jobs, and to address the very real threat of
climate change.”
