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

That the House of Representatives— (1) supports 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 clean, low-emitting energy technologies; and (4) 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.
