WASHINGTON— The Department of Energy (DOE) today released the following statement from DOE Spokesperson Andrea Woods on the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) Annual Energy Outlook 2025:
“Today’s report from EIA reflects the disastrous path for American energy production under the Biden administration – a path that was soundly rejected by the American people last November. Under President Trump’s leadership, the Department of Energy is charting a new way forward for America’s energy future that promotes greater consumer choice, ensures the U.S. has the power to lead the world in AI development and expands economic growth fueled by American energy dominance. By unleashing energy that is affordable, reliable, and secure, this administration is ensuring America’s future is marked by energy growth and abundance – not scarcity.”
Background:
EIA’s Annual Energy Outlook utilizes a reference case that assumes laws and regulations that were in effect as of December 2024 remain in effect through 2050. The report reflects the consequences of the Biden administration’s short-sighted energy policies – many of which have already been reversed by President Trump. The report does not reflect policies enacted by President Trump to expand consumer choice and facilitate greater investment in American energy production.
Work is already underway at DOE to advance production of affordable, reliable and secure energy sources, including coal, natural gas and nuclear energy. To date, the Department of Energy has issued six actions removing regulatory barriers to liquefied natural gas (LNG) production, including approving four LNG export permits or project extensions for non-FTA countries. DOE has announced several policies aimed at jumpstarting America’s nuclear energy renaissance, including issuing a loan disbursement for the Palisades Nuclear Plant and announcing the first conditional commitments to distribute HALEU fuel to five U.S. nuclear developers. Just last week, DOE announced a series of new actions that will modernize U.S. coal technologies and promote coal-fired power generation.
Under President Trump’s leadership, the Department of Energy is continuing to work with its counterparts on the National Energy Dominance Council to remove regulatory hurdles standing in the way of building critical infrastructure and limiting America’s energy potential.
