May 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." Pres. Joe Biden
March 13, 2023 Memorandum on Withdrawal of Certain Areas off the United States Arctic Coast of the Outer Continental Shelf from Oil or Gas Leasing Pres. Joe Biden
Jan. 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." Pres. Joe Biden
Dec. 15, 2022 Statement from President Joe Biden on Senator Joe Manchin's Permitting Reform Proposal Pres. Joe Biden
Dec. 9, 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." Pres. Joe Biden
Dec. 4, 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." Pres. Joe Biden

Nov. 2, 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." Pres. Joe Biden
Oct. 31, 2022 Remarks by President Biden on Recent Reports of Major Oil Companies Making Record-Setting Profits Pres. Joe Biden
Oct. 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." Pres. Joe Biden
Oct. 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." Pres. Joe Biden
Sept. 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." Pres. Joe Biden

July 23, 2022 Tweet - "With oil prices coming down 20% from June highs, it's unacceptable that prices at the pump have only come down by half as much. It's time for oil and gas companies to pass these lower costs on to Americans." Pres. Joe Biden
July 23, 2022 Tweet - "Recently, we've gotten a lot of good news on gas prices. But that doesn't change the fact that industry's margins are much higher than what's typical for this time of year. Oil prices are dropping, gas prices should too." Pres. Joe Biden

July 22, 2022 Tweet - "Gas prices have declined by an average of 60 cents per gallon over the past 38 days. Five straight weeks of gas prices coming down." Pres. Joe Biden
July 22, 2022 Tweet - "Today, America's drivers will spend on average $30 less per month on gas than they did during peak prices. For families like the one I grew up in, ending the month with a little extra in your pocketbook counts for something." Pres. Joe Biden
July 19, 2022 Tweet - "When Putin further invaded Ukraine and oil prices went up, the industry was quick to increase prices at the pump. But now that oil is lower, Americans haven't seen those savings. I want lower prices to benefit consumers -- not prop up profits." Pres. Joe Biden
July 19, 2022 Tweet - "I've been releasing about 1 million barrels of oil a day from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and rallied our global partners to release a combined 240 million barrels of oil onto the market. Our actions are working, and prices are coming down." Pres. Joe Biden
July 18, 2022 Tweet - "Gas prices have been dropping for 34 days straight, about 50 cents a gallon. That saves the average driver about $25 a month. I know those extra dollars and cents mean something. It's breathing room. And we're not done working to get prices even lower." Pres. Joe Biden
July 10, 2022 Tweet - "Republicans are doing nothing but obstructing our efforts to crack down on gas-price gouging, lower food prices, lower healthcare costs, and hopefully, soon, lower your prescription drug costs.

July 2, 2022 Tweet - "My message to the companies running gas stations and setting prices at the pump is simple: this is a time of war and global peril. Bring down the price you are charging at the pump to reflect the cost you're paying for the product. And do it now." Pres. Joe Biden
June 22, 2022 Remarks by President Biden on Gas Prices and Putin's Price Hike Pres. Joe Biden
June 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.

June 4, 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.

April 7, 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.

March 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." Pres. Joe Biden
March 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." Pres. Joe Biden
March 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." Pres. Joe Biden
March 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." Pres. Joe Biden
March 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." Pres. Joe Biden
March 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." Pres. Joe Biden

Nov. 27, 2021 Tweet - "This week, we launched a major effort to moderate the price of oil -- an effort that will span the globe in its reach and ultimately reach your corner gas station.
