In a parting memo, outgoing US Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz underscored the dramatic transformation of the American energy sector during the years of Barack Obama’s presidency, emphasising in particular the enormous gains made by renewables.
In a 20-page “exit memo” (PDF), Moniz noted that since Obama took office, the US base of installed wind capacity has tripled to 75GW while solar capacity surged 25-fold to 31GW.
