Want to Become Energy-Independent? Transition to Renewables, Says John Kerry | GZERO World

America, he adds, is ready to help other nations follow that path.

One thing that can facilitate the transition to clean energy is new technology. The problem is scale, but Kerry says to watch out for some breakthroughs on carbon capture and fusion.
