Ferguson met U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Adelaide on Thursday and discussed the importance of global and regional governance architecture that supports reliability and security of competitively priced supply for resources and energy importers, and creates a framework for the participation of emerging economies.
They also concluded both Australia and the United States recognize that global energy security and concerns about the climate are driving the uptake of clean and efficient renewable energy technologies.
