There are now 6 LNG export facilities operating in the United States, with 2 additional export projects under construction
The amount of nuclear energy production in 2019 was the highest on record, through a combination of increased capacity from power plant upgrades and shorter refueling and maintenance cycles

Issued the Presidential Permit for the A2A railroad between Canada and Alaska, providing energy resources to emerging markets
Increased access to our country’s abundant natural resources in order to achieve energy independence
Renewable energy production and consumption both reached record highs in 2019

Accelerated construction of energy infrastructure to ensure American energy producers can deliver their products to market
Cut red tape holding back the construction of new energy infrastructure
Authorized ethanol producers to sell E15 year-round and allowed higher-ethanol gasoline to be distributed from existing pumps at filling stations

Invested over $38 billion in clean water infrastructure
In 2019, America achieved the largest decline in carbon emissions of any country on Earth. Since withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accord, the United States has reduced carbon emissions more than any nation
American levels of particulate matter—one of the main measures of air pollution—are approximately five times lower than the global average
Between 2017 and 2019, the air became 7 percent cleaner—indicated by a steep drop in the combined emissions of criteria pollutants
Led the world in greenhouse gas emissions reductions, having cut energy-related CO2 emissions by 12 percent from 2005 to 2018—while the rest of the world increased emissions by 24 percent
In FY 2019 the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) cleaned up more major pollution sites than any year in nearly two decades
