RESOLUTION 
Congratulating the X PRIZE Foundation’s leadership in 
inspiring a new generation of viable, super-efficient vehicles. 
Whereas the United States is heavily dependent on foreign 
sources of oil that are concentrated in tumultuous coun-
tries and regions; 
Whereas the National security and economic prosperity of the 
United States demand that we move toward a sustainable 
energy future; 
Whereas the ability of foreign governments to assert great 
control over oil production allows unfriendly regimes to 
use energy exports as leverage against the United States 
and our allies; 
Whereas continued reliance on the use of greenhouse gas in-
tensive fuels may impact global climate change;

Whereas the automotive sector is heavily dependent on oil, 
which makes Americans vulnerable to oil price fluctuation 
and is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions; 
Whereas average fuel economy in the United States has in-
creased slowly during the last 20 years; 
Whereas many promising technologies exist that can lead to 
a breakthrough vehicle that will meet the need for sus-
tainable transportation; 
Whereas breakthroughs are often achieved by the free market 
fueling the entrepreneurial spirit of inventors and inves-
tors; 
Whereas the Automotive X PRIZE is a private, independent, 
technology-neutral competition being developed by the X 
PRIZE Foundation to inspire a new generation of viable, 
super-efficient vehicles that help break our addiction to 
oil and stem the effects of climate change; and 
Whereas the Automotive X PRIZE will award a multi-million 
dollar reward to teams that can design, build, and dem-
onstrate production-capable vehicles that achieve 100 
MPG or its equivalent: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the United States House of Rep-
resentatives— 
(1) congratulates the X PRIZE Foundation’s 
leadership for inspiring a new generation of viable, 
super-efficient vehicles that help break our addiction 
to oil through the Automotive X PRIZE competi-
tion; 
(2) congratulates the X PRIZE Foundation on 
their innovation and vision to bring together some of
