•HRES 941 IH 
(1) ‘‘Transitioning away from fossil fuels in energy 
systems, in a just, orderly, and equitable manner, accel-
erating action in this critical decade, so as to achieve net 
zero emissions by 2050 in keeping with the science.’’; 
(2) ‘‘Accelerating and substantially reducing non- 
carbon-dioxide emissions globally, including, in particular, 
methane emissions by 2030.’’; and 
(3) ‘‘Accelerating the reduction of emissions from 
road transport on a range of pathways, including through 
development of infrastructure and rapid deployment of 
zero and low-emission vehicles.’’; 
Whereas with the increase of domestic energy production, the 
United States has exerted more influence on global en-
ergy markets, with average daily exports of 3,500,000 
barrels of crude oil and 10,600,000,000 cubic feet of nat-
ural gas in 2022; 
Whereas United States energy exports provide numerous eco-
nomic and national security benefits to the United States 
people, including strengthened United States energy secu-
rity, improved balance of trade, lessened volatility in 
global markets, and the reduced ability of adversarial 
countries to use energy as a weapon; and 
Whereas the shale revolution led to the United States becom-
ing the world’s largest oil and gas producer and a net ex-
porter, and in 2019, economists estimated this greater 
productivity reduced the domestic price of natural gas by 
63 percent and led to a 45-percent decrease in the whole-
sale price of electricity, which, in turn, saved United 
States consumers an estimated $203,000,000,000 annu-
ally, or $2,500 for a family of four: Now, therefore, be 
it 
Resolved, That—
