Use Treasury authority to promote investment in domestic oil and gas
Printed page 709 22. Department of the Treasury
“The next Administration should use Treasury's tools and authority to promote investment in domestic energy, including oil and gas.”
What has happened
- Not started
Nothing found that uses Treasury's own tools and authority to promote investment in domestic oil and gas. Treasury's energy output in the evidence window is sanctions — on Iranian, Russian and Venezuelan oil networks, more than twenty releases — plus tax guidance implementing the termination of clean-energy credits. There is no Treasury financing program, loan guarantee, tax incentive or capital-markets initiative directed at domestic oil and gas investment, and no Treasury release on the subject.
No action found yet. This entry is the starting point, not a finding.

Research notes
Adjacent instruments, recorded as leads because they are not Treasury promoting domestic oil and gas: Executive Order 14315 of 2025-07-07, which directs the Secretary of the Treasury to enforce the termination of wind and solar credits strictly (Evidence for #1926); Public Law 119-21 sec. 70523, which lets intangible drilling and development costs be subtracted in computing adjusted financial statement income for the corporate alternative minimum tax — a benefit for oil and gas producers, but enacted by Congress rather than exercised by Treasury; and the Secretary’s April 2025 remarks urging the World Bank to be “tech neutral” and invest “in gas and other fossil fuel-based energy production”, which is about multilateral lending abroad, not domestic investment.
