US won't reverse clean energy transition, regardless of election outcome - Kerry | Reuters "WASHINGTON, Jan 16 (Reuters) - The transition toward clean energy and electric vehicles will not be interrupted regardless of who wins the 2024 U.S. presidential election, outgoing U.S. climate envoy John Kerry said on Tuesday.
"Kerry, speaking on a panel at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, was bullish on the trajectory of the energy transition - even amid global concern that a possible second Trump presidency could reverse some of the Biden administration's key climate policies.
"This economic revolution is underway and it's much bigger than any politician, any one person," Kerry told the Davos audience.
"Kerry confirmed that he plans to leave his role as the president's special envoy on climate change, the top U.S. climate diplomat, in order to play a vocal role in President Joe Biden's reelection campaign this year.
"He said that a U.S. law called the Hatch Act prevents federal employees from participating in campaign activities, which he said would constrain him from touting the administration's climate policies and accomplishments ahead of the November elections." . . .
