We have been working on this new initiative with India since they started their G20 presidency. So great to partner with them on this climate and energy security solution!
So proud to see @POTUS, @PMOIndia, and other close partners launching the Global Biofuels Alliance today — finalizing the deal we struck with Minister @HardeepSPuri at the G20 Energy Ministerial in Goa last July. 1/

Have a listen. So proud of everyone on our team who worked tirelessly to get emergency electricity equipment to our friends in Ukraine — we stand with them.

I have worked every single day of the new administration on this project. I could not be prouder of my team that made it happen and our incredible friends in Poland. It will create jobs and revenue for Poland and the U.S. and cement our partnership for generations to come.

This announcement also sends a clear message to Russia: We will not let them weaponize energy any longer. The West will stand together against this unprovoked aggression, while also diversifying energy supply chains and bolstering climate cooperation. 3/3

📣BIG NEWS: Poland's PM Mateusz Morawiecki just announced Poland will select the U.S. government & Westinghouse for the first part of their $40B nuclear project, creating or sustaining 100,000+ jobs for American workers. Thank you for your hard work with @ENERGY, @USAmbPoland! 1/

13 years ago I drove this car from Oregon to DC to work on comprehensive climate legislation. Today Congress passed a bill that’s not just comprehensive and not just the biggest…it’s actually at the level of ambition we need to tackle climate change. It’s that epic. Words fail.

The takeaway from WI, PA & NC voting rights decisions: -Drop your ballot off instead of mailing it back -Vote early if you can or on Election Day as last resort -Don't give Trump the chance to challenge late-arriving ballots or weaponize vote counts
