Whereas the ‘‘2019 U.S. Energy and Employment Report’’
found that—
(1) energy and energy efficiency sectors employ ap-
proximately 6,700,000 people; and
(2) the number of jobs in those sectors grew by
more than 2 percent from 2017 to 2018;
Whereas the scaling of clean energy is essential to reducing

jobs are part of the energy future of the United States:
Now, therefore, be it
