Date Title
06/22/2022 Tweet - "The price of gas is up by almost $2 a gallon since Putin accelerated his military build-up, and those high prices pose a challenge for working families. Today, I'm calling on Congress to suspend the federal gas tax for three months to provide Americans some much-needed relief."
06/22/2022 Remarks by President Biden on Gas Prices and Putin's Price Hike
06/22/2022 Tweet - "I'm doing everything I can to blunt the Putin Price Hike and bring down the cost of gas and food. I led the world to coordinate the largest release from global oil reserves in history, and I'm working to get 20 million tons of grain out of Ukraine to help bring down prices."
06/17/2022 Remarks by President Biden at the Major Economies Forum on Energy and Climate
06/12/2022 Tweet - "Amid historic global energy challenges, we must increase the resilience of American energy production. Last week, we took three major steps to increase the production of clean hydrogen -- a key part of the puzzle."
06/06/2022 Tweet - "Because of our actions last year, 2021 marked the largest deployment of solar, wind, and batteries in U.S. history. Today, I'm building on that progress by authorizing the Defense Production Act to lower energy costs, strengthen the power grid, and create good-paying jobs."
06/04/2022 Tweet - "I led the world to coordinate the largest release from global oil reserves in history, directed the sale of gasoline using homegrown biofuels this summer, and more. These actions have already helped to blunt what would have been an even larger Putin Price Hike."
05/01/2022 Tweet - "I grew up in a family where, when prices went up for things like gasoline, it became a discussion at the kitchen table. We felt it. That's why I'm focused on doing everything I can to lower the cost of gas and energy and accelerate our transition to clean energy."
04/28/2022 Tweet - "Yesterday, Russia threatened two of our allies with a cut off of energy supplies. Let me be clear: We will not let Russia intimidate or blackmail their way out of sanctions. And we will not allow them to use their oil to avoid consequences for their aggression."
04/12/2022 Remarks by President Biden on Lowering Energy Costs for Working Families
04/12/2022 Tweet - "Today, I am announcing that the Environmental Protection Agency is planning to issue an emergency waiver to allow E15 gasoline -- gasoline that uses more ethanol from home-grown crops -- to be sold across the U.S. this summer in order to increase fuel supply and lower prices."
04/12/2022 Tweet - "Putin's invasion of Ukraine has driven up gas prices and food prices all over the world. 70% of the increase in prices in March came from the Putin Price Hike. I'm doing everything I can to bring down prices and address the Putin Price Hike."
04/07/2022 Tweet - "Last week, I announced the largest ever release from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Today, the rest of the world is joining us -- releasing 240M barrels of oil in total. This will expand supply for oil and gas companies. Now it's on them to lower prices for consumers."
03/31/2022 Tweet - "Today, I'm authorizing the release of 1 million barrels of oil per day for the next six months--over 180 million barrels--from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. This is a wartime bridge to increase oil supply until production ramps up later this year."
03/31/2022 Memorandum on Finding of a Severe Energy Supply Interruption
03/31/2022 Tweet - "When you combine production here at home with less dependence on oil it means more energy security. Between ramping up production in the short-run and driving down demand in the long-run we can free ourselves from our dependence on imported oil from across the world."
03/31/2022 Tweet - "The oil and gas industry has nearly 9,000 unused permits for drilling on federal lands. I'm calling for a "use it or lose it" policy. Congress should make companies pay fees on idle wells on federal leases and on public lands they're hoarding without producing."
03/31/2022 Tweet - "U.S. oil companies made nearly $80 billion in profits last year. This isn't the time to sit on record profits. This is the time to step up for the good of your country. To invest in the immediate production we need to respond to Vladimir Putin."
03/31/2022 Tweet - "We need to reduce our dependence on oil altogether. We need to choose long-term energy security over energy and climate vulnerability. And we can do that by passing my plan to speed the transition to a clean energy future that is made in America with American values."
03/31/2022 Remarks by President Biden on Actions to Lower Gas Prices at the Pump for American Families
03/31/2022 Tweet - "Americans are feeling Putin's gas price hike at the pump. That's why today, I'm authorizing the release of 1 million barrels a day from our Strategic Petroleum Reserve -- and taking steps to lay a new foundation for lasting American energy independence through clean energy."
03/31/2022 Tweet - "Today, I am issuing a directive to strengthen our clean energy economy. To use the Defense Production Act to secure American supply chains for the critical materials that go into batteries for electric vehicles and storage of renewable energy."
03/31/2022 Tweet - "Clean energy made in America helps safeguard our national security, tackle climate change, and support millions of good-paying jobs for generations to come. But the most important thing my plan will do right away is save your family money."
03/28/2022 Tweet - "My budget lowers family energy costs with tax credits to help people make their homes more efficient -- and includes research and development investments to broaden the reach of solar and build a clean energy future."
