Restoration News’ 2025 year-in-review identified American Energy as the year’s biggest winner, citing gains in nuclear and conventional energy production.
According to a Restoration News article authored by Jeff Reynolds, the review was presented using the McLaughlin Group debate format, with categories including biggest winner, biggest loser, and most defining moment. American Energy was named the biggest winner due to a resurgence in nuclear and conventional energy, supported by changes to environmental subsidies and Green New Deal policies. The piece also notes that energy-focused policies reduced costs and improved efficiency, benefiting consumers.
In September 2025, the Department of Energy canceled more than $13 billion in unobligated funds from prior green energy initiatives and returned them to the Treasury. The agency proposed eliminating 47 regulations to save Americans $11 billion and withdrew conservation standards on items such as electric motors to lower costs. These measures aimed to support American energy production through deregulation and a focus on reliable sources.
