Date Title
05/18/2023 Tweet - "I'm proud of the progress we have made. We reduced the deficit in our first two years by $1.7 trillion. That includes more revenue by asking the wealthy and large corporations to begin to pay their fair share and cutting subsidies to Big Oil and Big Pharma."
01/25/2023 Tweet - "Our petroleum reserve releases worked to bring down prices at the pump -- and we have a plan to refill the reserve at a profit to taxpayers. House Republicans are trying to weaken that critical tool. And gas prices would go up because of it."
01/23/2023 Tweet - "To secure our energy supply and blunt rising costs caused by Putin's war, my Administration made releases from our petroleum reserve. House Republicans want to weaken that critical energy security option, causing oil shortages and higher gas prices in times of crisis."
01/07/2023 Tweet - "If you've ever thought about installing rooftop solar to save money on energy bills, now's the time. Thanks to our investments, you can save up to 30% of the cost of installing your solar panels on your 2023 tax returns."
01/03/2023 Tweet - "This year, companies who choose to build clean construction projects -- like solar and wind -- right here in America will start receiving tax credits, helping to create thousands of good-paying jobs in our clean energy economy."
12/09/2022 Tweet - "Right now, the average price of a gallon of gas is $3.32, down 13 cents in a week. And below the price of gas one year ago. Our actions are working to get American families meaningful savings."
12/04/2022 Tweet - "Gas prices have declined by an average of $1.60 a gallon over the past 173 days and are now back to the levels they were at in early February. That's great news."
11/29/2022 Tweet - "Our releases from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve -- and my call for global partners to release reserves of their own -- have helped gas prices drop below where they were prior to Putin's invasion of Ukraine. We're blunting Putin's price hike."
11/02/2022 Tweet - "If oil companies were investing their profits in their operations at historic rates, America would be producing more oil today and prices would be down even further. Rather than giving Americans a break, they are sending their excess profits back to shareholders and executives."
10/21/2022 Tweet - "In addition to the actions we've taken to lower gas prices, I'm asking Congress to pass a permitting bill to speed up approvals of energy production, from wind farms to other projects. This allows us to increase production while moving full-speed ahead on our clean energy goals."
10/20/2022 Tweet - "The shift to a net-zero carbon world is the largest economic transformation since the Industrial Revolution. We're confronting it head-on with American ingenuity and American jobs."
10/19/2022 Tweet - "It's simple: When the cost of oil comes down, we should see the price at the pump come down as well. That's how it should work. But right now, refiners and retailers are making record profits at the expense of the vast majority of Americans. It's unacceptable."
10/19/2022 Tweet - "After seeing gas prices rise over the past few weeks, they're falling again. That's progress. But they're not falling fast enough and families are hurting. I'm directing my Administration to take more action to lower costs, strengthen energy security, and address supply issues."
10/03/2022 Tweet - "It's crucial that we help the power stay on and quickly be restored when a storm like Fiona strikes. So today, I directed @SecGranholm to bring to bear all federal resources for Puerto Rico as they rebuild their grid and drive forward their clean energy transformation."
09/24/2022 Tweet - "With the Inflation Reduction Act, we'll bring down energy costs for working households and create millions of good-paying jobs making clean energy in America. We fought for what was right, and we're delivering."
09/20/2022 Tweet - "Folks, gas prices are now back to levels they were at in early March. That means nearly all of the increases since the beginning of Russia's war in Ukraine have been wiped out."
09/17/2022 Tweet - "My Administration has set a course for deploying 30 gigawatts of offshore wind by 2030 -- enough to power 10 million homes. And we're taking new steps to develop floating turbines that will unlock more clean energy and create jobs up and down the supply chain."
09/04/2022 Tweet - "Folks, gas prices continue to drop as they have every day this summer. As of today, prices are down by more than $1.20 per gallon over the past 82 days."
09/04/2022 Tweet - "The Inflation Reduction Act is a historic investment in our clean energy future. And that investment will include the strongest labor protections and incentives ever attached to clean energy tax credit programs."
08/16/2022 Tweet - "The Inflation Reduction Act will position America to meet my climate goals, saving families hundreds of dollars a year on energy costs. And for families that take advantage of clean energy and electric vehicle tax credits -- they could see more than twice the savings."
08/14/2022 Tweet - "How do we make a historic investment in a clean energy economy while also lowering the deficit? We make those at the top pay their fair share. The Inflation Reduction Act does that."
08/11/2022 Tweet - "A field of wind turbines doesn't just represent affordable, clean energy for American households. It represents the good-paying, union construction jobs that it took to build them."
08/02/2022 Tweet - "The current drop in gas prices continues to be the fastest decline in over a decade. 83 cents down and counting since mid-June."
07/27/2022 Tweet - "We've now hit more than six straight weeks of declines, making this the fastest drop in gas prices in over a decade."
07/26/2022 Tweet - "A new report says my Administration's actions have played a large part in making gas prices lower. And now those prices are coming down fast."
