Whereas across the United States, clean and readily abun-
dant forms of energy are powering more homes and busi-
nesses 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
(1) supports the designation of ‘‘National Clean
2
Energy Week’’;
