U.S. Department of Energy

It doesn't have to be this way...

During a recent summer heat wave across the Mid-Atlantic, coal, natural gas, and nuclear power kept the lights and air conditioners on. The most valuable energy sources show up when you need them most.

Happy birthday to the neutrino! These ghostly particles have been around for billions of years, but scientists @LosAlamosNatLab first collected experimental proof of them in 1956. Since then, @ENERGY’s research has been fundamental in understanding them: neutrinos.fnal.gov/history/

.@SecretaryWright delivers remarks before the signing of over $60 billion in U.S.-Iraqi energy deals.

Excellent to see Iraqi Prime Minister Al-Zaidi engage our world-class American energy companies yesterday in Houston during his official visit to the United States. Houston remains the epicenter of global energy leadership and the backbone of President Trump’s energy dominance agenda.

Thanks to President Trump, Americans saw the biggest monthly drop in inflation since April 2020, with falling energy prices leading the way 👏

.@POTUS on American energy at the Pennsylvania Defense & Innovation Summit: "In the Trump Administration you're not allowed to use the word coal without preceding it by the words clean, beautiful. @SecretaryWright & @SecretaryBurgum have been a fantastic team!"

President Trump’s Ratepayer Protection Pledge will help reduce costs and increase wages for Americans. @SecretaryWright: "The problem is state green energy mandates, not the data center development. They're a force to drive prices down."

🚨“Oil, natural gas and coal accounted for 86% of global energy use last year...despite years of investment in wind and solar power, the world continues to rely overwhelmingly on fossil fuels."  MUST READ: foxnews.com/politics/trump…

Thanks to the U.S. military and President Trump, oil is moving through the Strait of Hormuz. Yesterday, 8.5 million barrels of oil transited through the Strait, consistent with the recent average. This puts the Arabian Gulf Region flows at about 15 million barrels per day. The U.S. military will ensure oil flows continue, with or without the Iranians, to keep markets well supplied.

WATCH🚨Major improvements to Texas’ grid are coming thanks to @ENERGY’s recent loan! Deputy Secretary Danly explains how every transmission upgrade that meets reliability or cost reduction requirements will improve the reliance of the electric system.

Trump's ambitious energy bet could be a winning hand as the world burns more oil, gas than ever foxnews.com/politics/trump…

🚨ICYMI: The Energy Department announced financing to lower electricity costs and revitalize the Texas grid. @POTUS’ Working Families Tax Cuts Act is helping strengthen America’s energy infrastructure while lowering costs for hardworking families. utilitydive.com/news/doe-close…

.@ENERGY leadership showed up at the Great American State Fair — celebrating America’s 250th Anniversary and the American energy dominance that keeps our nation leading the world. 🇺🇸

America is more energy dominant than ever before, amid our nation’s 250th anniversary. "Most importantly, energy dominance sustains the God-endowed freedoms our Founders secured. Cheap, reliable power frees families from energy poverty." dailycaller.com/2026/07/04/opi…

Yesterday, I hosted 'Stump the Secretary' at @Freedom250's Great American State Fair.   Kids asked questions ranging from how fireworks are different colors to when we'll see nuclear reactors on the moon.   Absolutely loved the curiosity and creativity—the future is bright!

Happy 250th, America! I had a fun time at the Great American State Fair celebrating our nation’s legacy of innovation. I spoke with visitors about the Genesis Mission and how @ENERGY powers progress. Aires Tide was a highlight—and yes, I played with @LosAlamosNatLab’s robot dog!

Yesterday, the next generation of American energy innovators tried to stump @SecretaryWright with their toughest science questions at the Great American State Fair! 🎡🇺🇸
