Just wrapped an incredible trip to Mexico where @USAmbMex and I met with senior Mexican leadership, including President @LopezObrador, and industry, legislators, and civil society. Thank you for frank and respectful conversations. 1/ (Thread) 🇺🇸🇲🇽 energy.gov/articles/state…
Thank you to the Mexican gov’t, including @RocioNahle and @Claudiashein, for the warm welcome & open dialogue about a joint energy future. The U.S. greatly values our relationship with MX & sees tremendous promise for renewable energy to propel North American competitiveness. 2/
In each meeting, we expressly conveyed the Biden-Harris Administration’s real concerns with the potential negative impact of Mexico’s proposed energy reforms on U.S. private investment in Mexico. energy.gov/articles/state…
Mexico is blessed with an abundance of potential renewable energy, that, if fully realized, could power its own country at least 10 times over, create millions of good-paying jobs, & develop an extraordinary export industry geared for a world in need of clean energy solutions. 4/
The U.S. values our relationship with Mexico, which has for decades delivered great mutual benefit. Mexico is our second-largest trading partner, and U.S. companies are Mexico’s biggest investors. We have a fundamental interest in seeing Mexico and its people succeed. 5/5

I’ve spent the last two days touring West Virginia with my friend, @Sen_JoeManchin, and I’ve been bowled over by the potential this state is teeming with. There’s no question, West Virginians understand the epic challenge ahead. But they can see the opportunity, too. 1/
I can see the Mountain State's resolve to seize this opportunity, and their eagerness to lead the country’s clean energy industries.
That's why I’m very pleased to announce awards that will foster #WV's contributions to the clean energy economy. energy.gov/articles/doe-a… 2/
First, we are awarding $1 million to the US Research Alliance’s IMPACT Accelerator here in Morgantown through our EPIC program—which stands for Energy Program for Innovation Clusters. energy.gov/articles/doe-a… 3/
