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 

1 Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 

2 (1) supports the designation of ‘‘National Clean 

3 Energy Week’’;
