on 17 February 2026, AGU joined the Energy Sciences Coalition letter with their FY27 Appropriations request for the Department of Energy Office of Science. 

The Energy Sciences Coalition (ESC) thanks Congress for continuing its strong, bipartisan support of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science. To build on this support, ESC urges Congress to appropriate $9.5 billion in FY 2027 for DOE Office of Science. This level of funding is necessary to maintain U.S. competitiveness and unleash innovation in critical new energy and emerging technologies. Doubling down on DOE Office of Science investments will be essential to meet the current imperatives—an abundant domestic supply of reliable energy and positioning the United States to lead the industries of the future.
