RESOLUTION
Expressing support for the designation of the week of September 21
through September 25, 2020, as ``National Clean Energy Week''.
Whereas across the United States, clean and readily abundant forms of energy are
powering more homes and businesses than ever before;
Whereas clean energy generation is readily available from zero- and low-
emissions sources;
Whereas the clean energy sector is a growing part of the economy and has been a
key driver of economic growth in the United States in recent years;
Whereas technological innovation can further reduce costs and increase
deployment of clean energy sources;
Whereas the ``2020 U.S. Energy and Employment Report'' found that--
(1) at the end of 2019, the energy sector in the United States employed
6,800,000 individuals; and
(2) in 2019, the energy sector in the United States generated more than
120,000 new jobs;
Whereas the scaling of clean energy is essential to reducing harmful pollution;
Whereas clean energy jobs are inherently local, contribute to the growth of
local economies, and cannot be outsourced due to the on-site nature of
construction, installation, and maintenance; and
Whereas innovative clean energy solutions and clean energy jobs are part of the
energy future of the United States: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) supports the designation of ``National Clean Energy
Week'';
(2) encourages individuals and organizations across the
United States to support commonsense solutions that address the
economic, environmental, and energy needs of the United States
in the 21st century;
(3) encourages the Federal Government, States,
municipalities, and individuals to invest in clean, low-
emitting energy technologies; and
(4) recognizes the role of entrepreneurs and small
businesses in ensuring the energy leadership of the United
States in the global marketplace and supporting low-cost,
clean, and reliable energy in the United States.
