This law is more than policy. It’s a full-on resurgence of American energy dominance, with initiatives that open new federal lands, eliminate anti-growth subsidies, and invest in next-generation energy infrastructure.

End of Biden’s Wind and Solar Welfare

One of the bill’s most significant reforms is the termination of wind and solar tax credits. The law sets a final activation deadline of December 31, 2027, after which no new projects can claim federal credits.

Ending these subsidies:

• Saves hundreds of billions in taxpayer dollars

• Refocuses national investment on reliable energy sources

• Levels the playing field for coal, gas, oil, and nuclear industries

These moves close the chapter on Biden’s bloated green agenda and shift energy priorities back toward practical, job-creating industries.

Lower Fees and Rates Supercharge Production

The Big Beautiful Bill rolls back the burdensome royalties and fees imposed by the Inflation Reduction Act. These adjustments include:

• Onshore oil and gas royalties reduced from 16.67% to 12.5%

• Offshore royalties brought back to 12.5%, making American projects globally competitive

• Coal royalties cut to 7% through 2034

• Methane extraction royalties eliminated entirely

These changes make drilling and extraction more affordable and accessible for energy producers across the country.

New Loan Programs for Domestic Energy and Minerals

To ensure the development of future-focused infrastructure, the bill creates a new $1 billion Energy Dominance Financing Program. Administered by the DOE’s Loan Programs Office, the program is designed to:

• Support energy and mineral development projects

• Accelerate the construction of critical domestic infrastructure

• Secure America’s access to rare earths and industrial materials

This is a strategic investment in both national security and energy self-sufficiency.

Artificial Intelligence and Nuclear Security See Record Funding

The bill looks beyond oil and gas. It commits major funds to next-generation energy technology:

• $150 billion for the AI for Science Initiative at the DOE

• $115 million for the AI for Nuclear Security Initiative

• $3.5 billion to modernize America’s nuclear weapons program through the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA)

These initiatives will position the U.S. as a leader in energy innovation, national defense, and AI integration across the sector.

Massive Federal Leasing Program Opens Untapped Resources

To guarantee long-term domestic energy access, the bill includes the most aggressive federal leasing strategy in decades. Key mandates include:

• Quarterly lease sales in nine western states for 10 years

• Biannual lease auctions in the Gulf of America for 15 years

• Six lease sales in Alaska’s Cook Inlet, covering 1 million acres

• Four lease sales in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge

• Five lease sales in the National Petroleum Reserve–Alaska

• Expansion of coal leasing by four million acres

This move sends a clear message: the U.S. will not rely on foreign oil, and it will fully develop the resources beneath its own soil.

Red Tape Removed: Permitting and Exploration Made Easier

The legislation eliminates bureaucratic hurdles that discouraged energy investment. Notably:

• Expression of Interest (EOI) fees are scrapped, encouraging exploration

• Drilling permits are extended to four years, up from three

These changes give producers the certainty and flexibility needed to operate efficiently without facing constant regulatory interference.

Industry Voices Praise a Historic Shift

According to Dustin Meyer of the American Petroleum Institute, the Big Beautiful Bill “marks a new era of resource development on federal lands and waters.” He described it as a “sharp departure from how things have been done in the past.”

Mike Sommers, API CEO, noted that under the Biden administration, lease sales were nearly frozen. “Only two Gulf of America lease sales occurred,” he said, “and only due to Sen. Joe Manchin’s pressure during the IRA negotiations.” Trump’s new law ends that era of delay and indecision.

From Fossil Fuels to Future Tech: A Balanced, Bold Approach

What sets this bill apart is its dual investment in present and future energy. It restores fossil fuel development while also funding AI, nuclear modernization, and scientific breakthroughs.

This isn’t a rollback. It’s a realignment.

Trump’s energy strategy is not about choosing one source over another. It’s about choosing what works for America — economically, strategically, and securely.

Conclusion: American Energy is Back

The One Big Beautiful Bill doesn’t just end Biden’s war on energy. It rewrites the rules for a new American century.

With permanent tax cuts, record-level energy investments, and the most ambitious leasing policy in U.S. history, Trump has reopened the path to energy independence and dominance.

Every American — from roughnecks in Texas to engineers at DOE labs — now plays a role in this renewed energy renaissance.

The lights are on. The pumps are running. America is powering up again.
