The only way we're going to break this cycle of spiking gas prices for good is to shift our cars and trucks off of oil for good.

We've supported the first new nuclear power plant since the 1970s.

We honor the memories of the husbands, wives, sons, and daughters who perished at Halabja and throughout the Anfal.

We're producing more natural gas than ever before.

We're finally poised to take control of our energy future.

We can support scientists who are designing new engines that are more energy efficient, developing cheaper batteries that go farther on a single charge.

When somebody tells us we can't, we say, yes we can.

The American people don't expect their government to solve every problem.

As I mentioned at the top, there's a new EPA report that indicates that the car rule and other measures have actually increased fuel efficiency by about 16 percent in this country.

Most Americans—Democrats, Republicans, and Independents—understand that we can't just cut our way to prosperity.

We shouldn't ask senior citizens and working families to pay down the rest of our deficit while the wealthiest are asked for nothing more.

Our top priority must be to do everything we can to grow our economy and create good, middle-class jobs.

I want the next great job-creating breakthroughs to be right here in the United States of America.

There's plenty of common ground for us to seize, to move forward, that would reduce gun violence in our communities.

A growing economy that creates good, middle-class jobs–that must be the North Star that guides our efforts.

That has a -- the impact of that is to remove a significant amount of carbon emissions from the atmosphere.

We can support scientists who are designing new engines that are more energy efficient.

America only moves forward when we do so together—when we accept certain obligations to one another and to future generations.

I have determined that it is in the foreign policy interest of the United States to defer for 18 months the removal of any Liberian national, or person without nationality who last habitually resided in Liberia.

I think the fact that the President and the Vice President are both dedicated to this issue is indication of just how important it is to this administration.

These cuts will harm, not help, our economy.

The Energy Security Trust is a common-sense proposal to use some of the revenue that we obtain in the form of royalties from offshore oil and gas production and invest it in research dedicated to alternative forms of energy.

That's the nature of America.

We can reduce our deficit if we're willing to ask millionaires and billionaires to pay a little bit more.

The United States is certainly willing to continue to play a facilitating role.
