Summary
National Energy Dominance Month 2026 celebrates America’s rise as the world’s top energy superpower.

These moves aim to create jobs, lower energy costs, and keep America strong and independent from foreign energy sources.

Big increase in fossil-fuel production
The proclamation says the Administration "unleashed millions of acres of Federal land for oil, gas, and coal production" and approved over 6,000 drilling permits — more than in any year in over a decade. It also states the U.S. achieved record domestic oil and gas production and record liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports in 2025, and that 2026 is on pace to exceed those records.
Control of 65 billion barrels of oil reserves
The proclamation states that the Administration secured a deal giving the Nation majority control of more than 65 billion barrels of proven oil reserves in Venezuela.
$1+ billion for clean coal revival
The proclamation states the Administration committed over $1 billion to the revitalization of the clean coal industry and says it "saved over 100 coal plants."
Ended freeze on new LNG export terminals
The proclamation states the Administration "ended the freeze on new natural gas export terminals" and notes record levels of LNG exports in 2025.
Ratepayer Protection Pledge on electricity affordability
The proclamation says that on March 4, 2026 the President arranged for the "Ratepayer Protection Pledge," which addresses electric power affordability for American households and businesses. The pledge is presented as an action to help keep power affordable.
Thousands of new high-paying energy jobs
The proclamation states that new pipelines, export terminals, power plants, and nuclear reactors set to come online will create "thousands of new high-paying jobs for American workers in the years ahead."
Repeal of the Endangerment Finding (February 2026)
The proclamation says the Administration rescinded the Obama-era Endangerment Finding this past February, describing that repeal as the "single largest deregulatory action in American history" and tying it to rolling back vehicle and power plant regulations.
