Day 391
1 documented win
Record U.S. energy year
The win
On the Energy Dominance Council’s first anniversary, Fox reported U.S. crude at a record 13.6 million barrels a day in 2025 — highest of any country — and natural gas at 110.1 billion cubic feet a day in November, a record since tracking began in 1973. Gasoline had fallen to some of the lowest levels in years.
For Americans
This is the kitchen win. Lower pump prices, cheaper heating, and diesel that does not wreck a farm budget. Record production is how a commute stops being a monthly surprise.
For people abroad
Allies who buy American LNG and petroleum products get supply that is not a Russian or Iranian squeeze. A cold winter in Europe is warmer when the tanker is from the Gulf Coast.
