Definitely! Wonderful news!

Climate hawk Andrew Light, who I worked with at American Progress, will be principal deputy assistant secretary for the Department of @Energy International Affairs office.

Amazing news for our colleague, Andrew Light. Finally, US climate policy is back in the hands of competent leadership. @MasonCHHS George Mason University IPPP George Mason News Schar School

Thanks Aimee! Very happy and humbled to be part of this great group. I’ll certainly have top of mind opportunities to continue to support state action, among many other things!

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.

📣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 U.S. Department of Energy, Ambasador USA w Polsce! 1/

This is a HUGE step in strengthening our relationship with Poland 🇵🇱 to create energy security for future generations to come. We are excited to continue this partnership to drive forward a clean energy transition with our counterparts in Europe. 2/

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

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.

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.

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!
