Our agenda is fueling tremendous economic growth and forging a more secure future for our country and our allies. The American energy renaissance is pressing forward with stunning speed. The United States is becoming both energy independent and energy dominant because of the entrepreneurial spirit of the American people and the application of innovative technologies to energy production, transmission, distribution, and use. Recently, United States crude oil production rose to roughly 11 million barrels a day, making our Nation the largest global producer. Additionally, the United States is the world’s largest producer of natural gas, and, in 2017, our coal exports rose by roughly 60 percent over the previous year. American energy dominance means the end of our crippling dependence on foreign energy, and that our industries have access to reliable, affordable, and diverse energy supplies that enable them to compete in the global marketplace. Increasing energy security is also ushering in a new era of American leadership around the world as we export more of our energy bounty to friends and allies abroad, freeing them from hostile dependence. sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with PRES DOCS Our Nation’s increasingly innovative energy industry is proving that we can be responsible stewards of the environment while developing energy resources to grow the economy, lower costs, ignite job creation, and drive up incomes for American workers. From 2005 to 2017, the United States led the world in cutting energy-related carbon dioxide emissions, reducing them by about 860 million metric tons. Between 1970 and 2017, combined emissions from the six common pollutants dropped by 73 percent, all while our economy continued to grow. We are leading the world in the development of the next generation of energy technologies that will convert our abundant and diverse domestic energy resources, including coal, natural gas, nuclear, and renewables, into the useful energy services that power our economy. America’s innovative minds and industrial might, not the mandates of international agreements, have made our Nation the world leader in producing energy more abundantly while simultaneously reducing emissions. America’s future has never been brighter, and American energy is leading the way in providing jobs, opportunity, and security for our Nation. This month, we recommit to strengthening our energy security and to responsibly using our energy resources so that we can continue on our path towards energy independence and dominance. NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim October 2018 as National Energy Awareness Month.

                Proclamation 9794 of September 28, 2018

                
National Energy Awareness Month, 2018

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                During National Energy Awareness Month, we recognize 
                the remarkable role American energy plays in producing 
                more abundant, affordable, and reliable power for our 
                Nation and the world. My Administration is reducing 
                regulatory burdens on the energy sector, developing 
                innovative energy technologies, and building new 
                energy-related infrastructure. Our agenda is fueling 
                tremendous economic growth and forging a more secure 
                future for our country and our allies.

                The American energy renaissance is pressing forward 
                with stunning speed. The United States is becoming both 
                energy independent and energy dominant because of the 
                entrepreneurial spirit of the American people and the 
                application of innovative technologies to energy 
                production, transmission, distribution, and use. 
                Recently, United States crude oil production rose to 
                roughly 11 million barrels a day, making our Nation the 
                largest global producer. Additionally, the United 
                States is the world's largest producer of natural gas, 
                and, in 2017, our coal exports rose by roughly 60 
                percent over the previous year. American energy 
                dominance means the end of our crippling dependence on 
                foreign energy, and that our industries have access to 
                reliable, affordable, and diverse energy supplies that 
                enable them to compete in the global marketplace. 
                Increasing energy security is also ushering in a new 
                era of American leadership around the world as we 
                export more of our energy bounty to friends and allies 
                abroad, freeing them from hostile dependence.

                Our Nation's increasingly innovative energy industry is 
                proving that we can be responsible stewards of the 
                environment while developing energy resources to grow 
                the economy, lower costs, ignite job creation, and 
                drive up incomes for American workers. From 2005 to 
                2017, the United States led the world in cutting

                to grow. We are leading the world in the development of 
                the next generation of energy technologies that will 
                convert our abundant and diverse domestic energy 
                resources, including coal, natural gas, nuclear, and 
                renewables, into the useful energy services that power 
                our economy. America's innovative minds and industrial

                energy more abundantly while simultaneously reducing 
                emissions.

                America's future has never been brighter, and American 
                energy is leading the way in providing jobs, 
                opportunity, and security for our Nation. This month, 
                we recommit to strengthening our energy security and to 
                responsibly using our energy resources so that we can 
                continue on our path towards energy independence and

                United States of America, by virtue of the authority 
                vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the 
                United States, do hereby proclaim October 2018 as 
                National Energy Awareness Month.
