U.S. energy production climbed to a fresh all-time high in 2025, marking the fourth consecutive year of record-high output, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said Monday.
The record came amid higher production of natural gas, crude oil and other energy sources, said the EIA, the independent statistical arm of the Energy Department. Total energy production in the United States increased by 3.4 percent over the previous record set in 2024.
Even as U.S. energy production rose to a new high in 2025, gasoline prices have also surged amid fallout from the Iran conflict. The average price for a gallon of regular reached $4.52 a gallon Monday, 39 cents higher than it was a month ago and about $1.60 over where prices were when the U.S. and Israel struck Iran at the end of February.
The new peak also comes as U.S. fuel exports hit an all-time high this month — something Energy Secretary Chris Wright cheered last week on Fox Business.
