Fact Sheet: America's Energy Security, March 30, 2011
From the March 30, 2011 White House fact sheet: "Rising prices at the pump affect everybody -- workers and farmers; truck drivers and restaurant owners. Businesses see it impact their bottom line. Families feel the pinch when they fill up their tank. For Americans already struggling to get by, it makes life that much harder. That's why we need to make ourselves more secure and control our energy future by harnessing all of the resources that we have available and embracing a diverse energy portfolio. With an ultimate goal of reducing our dependence on oil, in the near term we must responsibly develop and produce oil and gas at home, while at the same time leveraging cleaner, alternative fuels and increasing efficiency. And beyond our efforts to reduce our dependence on oil, we must focus on expanding cleaner sources of electricity -- keeping America on the cutting edge of clean energy technology so that we can build a 21st century clean energy economy and win the future."

Fact Sheet: President Obama's Blueprint to Make the Most of America's Energy Resources, January 26, 2012
From the January 26, 2012 White House fact sheet: "In his State of the Union Address, President Obama laid out a Blueprint for an America Built to Last, underscoring his commitment to an all-of-the-above approach that develops every available source of American energy. This commitment includes the safe and responsible production of our oil and natural gas resources. Today, American oil production is at the highest level in eight years and last year we relied less on foreign oil than in any of the past 16 years. At the same time, the President believes we need to double-down on clean energy in the United States. Transitioning to cleaner sources of energy will enhance our national security, protect the environment and public health, and grow our economy and create new jobs. Over the past few years, renewable energy use has nearly doubled. In fact, in 2011, the United States reclaimed the position as the world's leading investor in clean energy -- but staying on top will depend on smart, aggressive action moving forward. President Obama will begin the second day of his post-State of the Union swing with an event at a UPS [United Parcel Service] facility in Las Vegas, focusing on the importance of American workers developing American-made energy for an economy that's built to last. Following this event, the President will travel to Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora, Colorado to deliver remarks on American energy and the steps his Administration is taking to promote energy security."

From the March 21, 2011 White House fact sheet: "The United States and Chile work together bilaterally and regionally to protect the environment, combat climate change, and enhance clean energy growth.

The United States supports Chile's candidacy for membership in the International Energy Agency. In June 2009, the Department of Energy (DOE) signed a Clean Energy Technology Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Chile under ECPA. Under the MOU, DOE provides technical support to Chile's Renewable Energy Center and two pilot solar plants in Chile's northern desert. The United States and Chile look to increase active collaboration on wind and geothermal energy, biofuels and biomass projects. Chile and the United States cooperate constructively on climate change mitigation to encourage effective outcomes from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The United States and Chile signed an Environmental Cooperation Agreement in 2003. Together we are engaging in efforts to address sectors including mining, forestry, transportation, fisheries and agriculture; work focuses on key themes of good governance, natural resources protection, and private sector environmental performance. Chile and the United States recognize the importance of working bilaterally and regionally through ECPA, and globally through the framework of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. This year Chile and the United States will work together to implement the agreements reached in Cancun, including on transparency, adaptation, technology, finance, and forest preservation."

Beyond the Border Implementation Report [December 2013]
From the Document: "The United States and Canada are deeply interconnected by history, geography, and our people. We have the largest bilateral trading relationship in the world, with two-way trade in goods and services of over $700 billion in 2012, supporting millions of jobs in each country. The United States and Canada also share the longest common border in the world, touching three oceans. Our shared border is more than a simple geographical boundary; it is also the site of more than 100 ports of entry, doors from one country to the other, where the efficient movement of people and goods is crucial to the daily lives of our citizens, the health of our communities and to the competitiveness of our economies. The United States and Canada have a long tradition of working together to promote security and facilitate trade and travel across our borders, ensuring that they remain open to legitimate trade and travel and closed to terrorists, criminals, and illegal or unauthorized goods. This strong partnership continues. The 'Beyond the Border Declaration: A Shared Vision for Perimeter Security and Economic Competitiveness' and its accompanying 'Action Plan,' announced by President Obama and Prime Minister Harper in 2011, deepen and institutionalize this cooperation at and away from the shared border."
