Serving as Secretary of @ENERGY under @realDonaldTrump has been the honor of a lifetime. Today the U.S. leads the world in energy production, we launched AI & Cyber Security Offices, & made environmental progress unseen for decades cleaning up the legacy of the Manhattan Project.

For the first time in 70 years, America had its first full month as a net exporter of crude and petroleum products! Another great achievement for the @realDonaldTrump Administration, the Department of @ENERGY, and the American people. #EnergyIndependence finance.yahoo.com/news/u-pos…

Had the honor to do the coin toss at the @NavalAcademy game against @SMU yesterday. Both @NavyFB and @SMU_Football played their hearts out in a nail biting game! Congrats to #NavyFB on the hard fought win.

Today, I held a press call on how @ENERGY is working to solve the growing challenge of plastic waste. This is a global problem in need of an American solution, and that is why I'm proud to launch the Plastics Innovation Challenge. energy.gov/articles/departme…

Had a great time catching up with @GovernorGordon this morning. We discussed how Wyoming and @ENERGY will continue to work together on an “all-of-the above” energy strategy to ensure that America remains the world leader in energy production.

For the better part of three years the public servants at @ENERGY have been a blessing in my life more than words can convey. You have made my years as Energy Secretary more fulfilling than I could have ever imagined when I came on board in March of 2017.

If we value innovation, research, discoveries and inventions, how much more should we value the people responsible for them in the first place? It is the value of the men and women across our DOE enterprise that make serving as Secretary of @ENERGY the world’s coolest job.

President @realDonaldTrump has brought to Washington a commitment to rein in regulation and put innovation squarely in the driver’s seat of our economic and energy policy by signing off on new pipelines and removing draconian restrictions on responsible oil and gas exploration.

America leads the world in oil & gas production while leading all nations, including everyone in the Paris accord, in reducing energy-related emissions & the private sector is the reason we’re doing it all without sacrificing 1 single fuel, 1 bit of growth, 1 iota of opportunity.

As we approach these crossroads it is my hope that our country chooses wisely. It is my hope that we choose the proven path, the path that ignites prosperity, liberates nations, and empowers people everywhere.
