This House resolution supports declaring September 14 through September 18, 2026, as "National Clean Energy Week." It lists reasons the sponsors give for the designation: clean energy powers more homes and businesses, is available from zero- and low-emission sources, helps the economy, and can be made cheaper and more reliable through innovation. The resolution cites a Department of Energy report that said about 8,500,000 people worked in the energy and energy efficiency sectors at the end of 2024. It applauds Department of Energy national laboratories in many states and encourages investment in affordable, clean, and low-emitting energy technologies. It also recognizes the role of entrepreneurs and small businesses in supporting clean, reliable, and low-cost energy.
The resolution asks individuals and organizations to support common-sense solutions for economic, environmental, and energy needs and encourages investment in clean energy technologies. It expresses support for the named week and applauds specific national labs and businesses. The text does not list any new rules or penalties.
