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, 

enhance reliability, and increase deployment of clean energy sources; 

Whereas the 2024 report entitled ‘‘United States Energy and 

Employment Report’’ published by the Department of 

Energy found that, at the end of 2023, the energy and 

energy efficiency sectors in the United States employed 

approximately 8,350,000 individuals; 

Whereas the scaling of affordable and exportable clean energy 

is essential to reducing global emissions; 

Whereas clean energy jobs are inherently local, contribute to 

the growth of local economies, and cannot be outsourced 

due to the onsite nature of construction, installation, and 

maintenance; 

Whereas innovative clean energy solutions and clean energy 

jobs are part of the energy future of the United States; 

and 

Whereas September 23 through September 27, 2024, should 

be considered ‘‘National Clean Energy Week’’: Now, 

therefore, be it 

1 Resolved, That the House of Representatives—
