The administration pointed to higher oil and natural gas production, expanded export capacity, and lower average gasoline prices as key developments during the first year of Trump\u2019s second term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Officials said domestic oil production reached a record 13.6 million barrels per day in 2025, the highest level globally. The White House noted that this output surpassed Biden-era production levels, which rose from 11.3 million to 13.2 million barrels per day over four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Natural gas production also hit new highs, with federal data showing output of 110.1 billion cubic feet per day in November 2025\u2014the largest amount recorded since tracking began in 1973. Overall production is reported to be about 8% above the Biden-era average and 4% higher than the previous national record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The administration also emphasized growth in liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports, stating that average exports reached roughly 15 billion cubic feet per day in 2025, compared with about 11 billion cubic feet per day during the prior administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to officials, regulatory changes over the past year have reduced permitting delays and supported development across multiple energy sectors, helping strengthen the United States\u2019 position in global energy markets. The White House argues that increased domestic production has contributed to lower energy costs for consumers and improved national energy security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Critics, however, have raised concerns that prioritizing fossil fuel expansion over renewable energy could affect long-term sustainability goals. The administration maintains that expanding domestic energy supply supports economic stability, job creation, and affordability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The National Energy Dominance Council was established by executive order on February 14, 2025, with a mandate to coordinate federal agencies, streamline permitting, expand energy exports, and promote what the administration calls \u201cenergy dominance.\u201d Officials say lower energy prices play a key role in reducing inflation and easing costs for households, businesses, and manufacturers across the economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The White House marked the one-year anniversary of the National Energy Dominance Council on Saturday, highlighting increases in U.S. energy production and improved market indicators compared with&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1303","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newstoday365.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1303","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newstoday365.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newstoday365.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newstoday365.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newstoday365.today\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1303"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newstoday365.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1303\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1305,"href":"https:\/\/newstoday365.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1303\/revisions\/1305"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newstoday365.today\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1303"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newstoday365.today\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1303"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newstoday365.today\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1303"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
