Hello, everybody. I’m speaking to you today from a UPS customer center in Landover,
Maryland, where I came to talk about an issue that’s affecting families and businesses just like
this one – the rising price of gas, and what we can do as a country to reduce our dependence on
foreign oil.
This week, I released a Blueprint for a Secure Energy Future. It’s a strategy to reduce the oil we
import from around the world, and to make our economy stronger at home. Part of this strategy
involves increasing our oil exploration right here in America. In fact, our oil production last year
reached its highest level since 2003, and we want to encourage more safe, responsible drilling
where we can.
But the truth is, drilling alone is not a real strategy to replace our dependence on foreign oil.
And that’s because even though America uses 25 percent of the world’s oil, we currently have
only about 2 percent of the world’s oil reserves. Even if we used every last drop of all the oil we
have, it wouldn’t be enough to meet our long-term energy needs. So, real energy security can
only come if we find ways to use less oil – if we invest in cleaner fuels and greater efficiency.
That’s what we’ve been doing since I took office. For example, we secured an agreement from
all the major auto companies to raise the fuel efficiency of their cars and trucks. So if you buy a
new car, the better gas mileage is going to save you about $3,000. Altogether, this will save us
about 1.8 billion barrels of oil as a country.
We need to build on this progress. As we make our cars and trucks more efficient, we’ve got to
harness new technologies to fuel our vehicles with everything from biofuels to natural gas to
advanced batteries. And the good news is, these technologies aren’t science fiction anymore.
They exist today. Already, American car companies are producing electric vehicles that use little
or no gas. And innovators across America are testing new products that hold incredible promise
not just for new vehicles, but for countless new jobs.
To help jumpstart this market, the federal government has doubled the number of clean energy
vehicles that we have in our fleet. In the next few years, we’re going to switch the entire fleet
over. And I’m here at UPS because it’s not just the government getting in on the action.
Companies like UPS, FedEx, AT&T, Verizon, and PepsiCo – firms with some of the largest
fleets in the country – are switching to more efficient vehicles. And through our Clean Fleets
Partnership, driven not by government, but by business, more companies are going to be
switching to electric and alternative vehicles, too – not out of the goodness of their hearts, but
because it’s good for their bottom lines.
The goal is simple. When I was elected to this office, America imported 11 million barrels of oil
a day. Through these and other steps, by a little more than a decade from now, we will have cut
that by one third. And by doing so, we’re going to make our economy less vulnerable to wild
swings in oil prices. We’re going to use cleaner sources of energy that don’t imperil our
climate. And we’re going to spark new products and businesses all over the country by tapping
America’s greatest renewable resource: our ingenuity.
We know how important that is. This week, we learned that the economy added 230,000 private
sector jobs last month. That makes 1.8 million private sector jobs created in the last thirteen
months. That’s a good sign. But we have to keep up the momentum, and transitioning to a clean
energy economy will help us do that. It will ensure that the United States of America is home to
the jobs and industries of tomorrow. That’s how we’ll win the future. And that’s how we’ll
leave our children an America that is more secure and prosperous than before.
Thanks, and have a great weekend.

WASHINGTON – In his weekly address, President Obama discussed his strategy to reduce our

When the President was elected, America imported eleven million barrels of oil a day. This
week he announced a bold, but achievable goal of cutting this number by one-third by 2025.

This week, I released a Blueprint for a Secure Energy Future. It’s a strategy to reduce the oil
we import from around the world, and to make our economy stronger at home. Part of this
strategy involves increasing our oil exploration right here in America. In fact, our oil production
last year reached its highest level since 2003, and we want to encourage more safe, responsible
drilling where we can.
They formed a much smaller group of oligarchs who held

But the truth is, drilling alone is not a real strategy to replace our dependence on foreign oil.
And that’s because even though America uses 25 percent of the world’s oil, we currently have
only about 2 percent of the world’s oil reserves. Even if we used every last drop of all the oil we
have, it wouldn’t be enough to meet our long-term energy needs. So, real energy security can
only come if we find ways to use less oil – if we invest in cleaner fuels and greater efficiency.

WASHINGTON – In his weekly address, President Obama discussed his strategy to reduce our
dependence on foreign oil and secure our nation’s energy future. When the President was
elected, America imported eleven million barrels of oil a day. This week he announced a bold,

To achieve this goal we will increase responsible domestic oil and gas development in the short
term, while also increasing efficiency and harnessing new technologies including biofuels,
natural gas, and advanced batteries. And through the Clean Fleets Partnership, large companies,

switching their fleets over to electric and alternative vehicles.

appointed me to West Point, have since ranged to the intimate

the mutually interdependent during these past eight years. In
this final relationship, the Congress and the Administration
have, on most vital issues, cooperated well, to serve the nation
good, rather than mere partisanship, and so have assured that
the business of the nation should go forward. So, my official

(a) PAYMENT OF REWARDS TO COMBAT TERRORISM.—Funds available to the Attorney General may be used for the
payment of rewards pursuant to public advertisements for assistance to the Department of Justice to combat terrorism
and defend the Nation against terrorist acts, in accordance with procedures and
credibility in Europe. Even as US defense planners sought to address concerns about the
military balance in Europe, Soviet expansionism into the Third World raised additional
concerns about the ability to contain a regional conflict and prevent escalation to a wider
global one. Anxiety about Soviet penetration into strategically important regions like the
Persian Gulf was based in part on the emergence of new strategic and operational challenges to
American military forces.
Responses to these challenges evolved throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s and led to a
new arsenal of nonnuclear strategic strike capabilities. These were the capabilities Soviet
observers labeled an RMA.
