12:00 pm
silver bullet for the economy, nor the express lane for a climate disaster claimed by others. to illustrate this, let me briefly comment on some of the reasons why the state department rejected this pipeline. first, the pipeline would not make a meaningful long-term contribution to our economy. so if congress is serious about wanting to create jobs, this was not the way to do it. if they want to do it, what we should be doing is passing a bipartisan infrastructure plan that could create more than 30 times as many jobs per year as the pipeline would and would benefit our economy and workers for decades to come. our business has created 268,000 new jobs last month. they've created 13.5 million new jobs over the past 68 straight
12:01 pm
the unemployment rate fell to 5%. this congress should pass a serious infrastructure plan and keep those jobs coming. that would make a difference. the pipeline would not have made a serious impact on those numbers and on the american people's prospects for the future. second, the pipeline would not lower gas prices for american consumers. in fact, gas prices have already been falling, steadily. the national average gas price is down to -- down about 77 cents over a year ago. it's down a dollar over two years ago. it's down $1.27 over three years ago. today, in 41 states, drivers can find at least one gas station selling gas for less than 2 bucks a gallon. while our politics have been consumed by a debate over
12:02 pm
would create jobs and lower gas prices, we've gone ahead and created more jobs and lower gas prices. third, shipping dirtier crude oil into our country would not increase america's energy security. what has increased america's energy security is our strategy over the past several years to reduce our reliance on dirty fossil fuels from unstable parts of the world. three years ago, i set a goal to cut our oil imports in half by 2020. between producing more oil here at home and using less oil throughout our economy, we met that goal last year. five years early. in fact, for the first time in two decades, the united states of america now produces more oil than we buy from other countries. now, the truth is, the states will continue to rely on oil and
12:03 pm
gas as we transition to a clean energy economy. that transition will take some time. but it's also going more quickly than many anticipated. think about it. since i took office, we've doubled the distance our cars will go on a gallon of gas by 2025. tripled power we generate from the wind. multiplied the power we generate from the sun 20 times over. our biggest and most successful businesses are going all in on clean energy. and thanks in part to the investments we've made, there are already parts of america where clean power from the wind or the sun is finally cheaper than dirtier conventional power. the point is, the old rule said we couldn't promote economic growth and protect our environment at the same time. the old rule said we couldn't transition to clean energy without squeezing businesses and consumers.
12:04 pm
technologies to break down the old rules. so that today, homeward american energy is booming, energy prices are falling, over the past decade, even as our economy has continued to grow, america's cut our total carbon pollution more than any other country on earth. today, the united states of america is leading on climate change with our investments in clean energy and energy efficiency. america is leading on climate change with new rules on power plants that will protect our air so that our kids with breathe. america is leading on climate change by working with other big emitters like china to encourage and emily: we turn to breaking news.
