With President Trump and Secretary Wright's leadership, the Energy Department has ushered in an unprecedented era of energy dominance, resulting in record energy production and more affordable prices.
- Thanks to President Trump, gas prices are at a 4-year low
- averaging about $2.90/gal. Savings for the American people will amount to over $500 million this Christmas.
- Never before in America's history has our Nation been more energy dominant: Thanks to President Trump's policies, America leads the world in oil and natural gas production, producing at all-time records.
- The U.S. now produces more oil than Saudia Arabia and Russia combined at 24.2 million barrels per day.
- The U.S. now produces as much natural gas as Russia, Iran and China combined at 108 billion cubic feet per day.
- On Day One, President Trump directed the Energy Department to end the Biden LNG export ban, delivering prosperity at home and peace abroad. Since January, The Energy Department has approved more LNG export capacity than the volume exported today by the world's second-largest LNG exporter.
- Since President Trump took office, prices for propane, kerosene, firewood and fuel oil are all down.
- Thanks to President Trump and the passage of the Working Families Tax Cut, the Energy Department is refilling and repairing the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) after the Biden administration recklessly drained and damaged it for political purposes.
- In May 2025, the Energy Department announced the largest deregulatory effort in the department's history, proposing the elimination of 47 regulations driving up costs for consumers, estimated to save Americans $11 billion in costs.
- In March 2025, the Energy Department withdrew four conservation standards, including standards on electric motors, ceiling fans, dehumidifiers and external power supplies, cutting red tape, restoring consumer choice and lowering costs for the American people.
PREVENTING BLACKOUTS AND REVERSING THE BIDEN ENERGY SUBTRACTION AGENDA
The previous administration's energy subtraction agenda threatened the reliability of the U.S. energy grid, which is why on Day One, President Trump declared a national energy emergency
and made it a central mission of his administration to lower costs and stabilize the grid.
- Under the Biden administration, there were plans to shutter coal, natural gas and hydro-powered electricity plants. An Energy Department report released earlier this year showed that before President Trump's election, America was on track to experience a massive shortfall of reliable electricity generation and 100 times more blackouts in the next five years.
- Thanks to President Trump, the Energy Department is reversing those dangerous and costly energy subtraction policies. The Energy Department has issued 16 emergency orders, to maximize grid reliability, affordability and to keep power online and available that would have otherwise been shuttered. These emergency orders have been essential in keeping the lights on during periods of extreme weather and periods of peak demand.
- Thanks to President Trump, the Energy Department halted the Biden Administration's radical anti-hydroelectricity policy in the Columbia River Basin, which could have led to the shutdown of more than 3,000 megawatts of affordable, reliable and secure hydroelectric power - enough generation to power about 2.5 million homes.
- The Energy Department has provided overdue support to addressing Puerto Rico's grid crisis and delivering affordable, reliable, and secure energy to 3.2 million Puerto Ricans. In October 2025, the Energy Department reallocated $365 million in funding to help fix grid crisis and support commonsense repairs, helping more Puerto Ricans on a faster timeline.
- In September 2025, the Energy Department cancelled more than $13 billion in unobligated funds that were appropriated to advance the previous Administration's wasteful Green New Scam agenda and returned these funds to the U.S. Treasury.
