This past week, President Trump unveiled his FY 2020 Budget Request, including $31.7 billion dollars to fund the U.S. Department of Energy (an increase of $1.1 billion over the FY 2019 request). Our FY 2020 Budget Request supports America’s continued rise as an energy independent nation, and advances U.S. national security and economic growth by making investments in transformative science and technology innovation to promote affordable and reliable energy. It also includes funding to meet our national security and environmental cleanup challenges. Highlights:
— Promotes America’s “all of the above” energy policy and fulfills the President’s long-term goal of American energy dominance.
