  Designating the week of September 25 through September 29, 2023, 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, enhance reliability, 
        and increase deployment of clean energy sources;
Whereas the report of the Department of Energy entitled ``United States Energy & 
        Employment Report 2023'' found that, at the end of 2022, the energy and 
        energy efficiency sectors in the United States employed approximately 
        8,100,000 individuals;
Whereas the scaling of affordable and exportable clean energy is essential to 
        reducing global emissions;
Whereas clean energy jobs contribute to the growth of local economies; 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 Senate--
            (1) designates the week of September 25 through September 
        29, 2023, as ``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 affordable, clean, 
        and low-emitting energy technologies;
            (4) supports reliable and affordable energy for the people 
        of the United States; and
            (5) recognizes the role of entrepreneurs and small 
        businesses in ensuring the leadership of the United States in 
        the global energy marketplace and in supporting low-cost, 
        clean, and reliable energy in the United States.
