The Department of Energy has issued a statement from U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright regarding the release of President Trump's 2026 budget. The announcement was made as part of a broader presentation of the budget aimed at boosting America's energy leadership.
“This is a consequential moment in American history—thanks to President Trump’s leadership, the Energy Department has an opportunity to help the nation restore energy dominance, lead the world in innovation, and modernize our nuclear weapons stockpiles," said Wright. The statement emphasized the need for a culture that prioritizes transparency, performance, and practicality.
Wright also highlighted that the proposed budget supports these efforts and aims to ensure that the Department of Energy fulfills its mission while adhering to the administration's commitment to manage taxpayer funds responsibly.
The President's budget for 2026 offers support to the Department's mission of delivering affordable, reliable, and secure energy across the nation. Additionally, it focuses on enhancing efficiency and better stewardship of taxpayer resources. According to the statement, the budget will also phase out spending viewed as inefficient, such as those associated with the "Green New Scam."
President Trump's budget framework aims to redirect resources and refocus efforts on energy programs deemed efficient by the administration. Further information and specifics of the proposed budget can be accessed through the appropriate channels.
