    Supporting the designation of the week of September 26 through 
         September 30, 2022, 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 2022 report entitled ``United States Energy and Employment Report'' 
        published by the Department of Energy found that, at the end of 2021, 
        the energy and energy efficiency sectors in the United States employed 
        approximately 7,800,000 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 26 through September 30, 2022, should be considered ``National 
        Clean Energy Week'': Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) expresses support for the designation of ``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 Americans; 
        and
            (5) recognizes the role of entrepreneurs and small 
        businesses in ensuring the energy leadership of the United 
        States in the global marketplace and supporting low-cost, 
        clean, and reliable energy in the United States.
