Dark energy is not galaxies moving away from each other but instead its new space being created in between which makes it appear like they are moving away from each other. That's why distant redshifts can exceed the speed of light, because they are not really moving, so the speed of light law is not broken.

They are talking about dark matter not dark energy.
