Clinton: U.S. diplomacy must seek energy stability, renewables

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton on Thursday called for her successor to pursue the twin goals of stable, affordable energy and the growth of renewable sources in future diplomacy. 

Clinton said the United States must remain a world leader in the energy markets, with the top objective of making sure "the American people's access to energy is secure, reliable, affordable and sustainable." On the last note, she said global development of renewable energy sources is key to confronting climate change.
