,native ,hawaiians in that community4 ,i ,environmental ,justice1 #ajj ,percent ,renewable ,energy and ,our ,clean ,energy ,future #aja4 ,findings ,congress finds the following3 7#a7 ,according to the ,national ,aeronautics and ,space ,administration 7,,nasa71 #ig percent or more of actively publishing climate scientists agree that climate-warming trends over the past century are extremely likely due to human activities4 ,additionally1 most of the leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued public statements endorsing this position4 7#b7 ,people of color comprise almost half of the #aa1djj1jjj people nationwide who live near dangerous1 polluting facilities1 and are twice as likely to live in those areas as ,white ,americans4 ,african-,americans are #gi percent more likely than ,white ,americans to live in communities where industrial pollution poses the greatest health danger4 ,the fact that people of color breathe #df percent more nitrogen dioxide than ,white ,americans1 a pollutant that causes respiratory diseases and heart conditions1 is one of the reasons why children of color go to the emergency room for asthma attacks at nearly triple the rate than ,white children do4 7#c7 ,similarly1 in the poor1 mostly ,latino community of ,corpus ,christi1 ,texas1 the overall rate of birth defects is #hd percent higher than the rest of the ,state4 ,the city ranks number one in the ,state for benzene pollution generated by refineries and petrochemical plants--a serious concern1 as benzene is a powerful cancer-causing agent4 ,the odds are now an incredible #c to #a that a ,latino immigrant will reside in an area with dangerously high levels of toxic pollution4 ,it should come as no surprise1 then1 that ,latino families have placed as much importance on clean air and clean water in their communities as they have on immigration issues4 7#d7 ,tribal lands are only #d percent of the ,united ,states land base1 yet of the #a1cbb ,superfund hazardous waste sites1 #be percent are in ,indian country4 ,the vast majority--#ge percent--of abandoned uranium mines are on ,indian lands1 with little effort made to remediate the harms they cause4 7#e7 ,a full #bj percent of people living in ,first ,nations communities located next to tar sands extraction sites were diagnosed with cancer--,keystone ,,xl and the ,enbridge ,alberta ,clipper expansion were one of many pipelines attempting to bring this tar sands1 toxic and corrosive crude oil into the ,united ,states1 directly through tribal treaty lands4 7#f7 ,federal leasing of public lands for fossil fuels extraction significantly impacts numerous ,american ,indian ,tribes1 ,alaska ,native ,tribes1 ,native ,hawaiian communities and indigenous communities that share more than #c1jjj miles of contiguous border with ,national ,forest lands4 ,the resource exploitation of fossil fuel energy extraction has run a long and deadly course in tribal lands4 7#g7 ,fracking operations adversely impact public health through threats to water and air quality from multiple sources including leaks from pipes and related transportation of fossil fuel that results in disproportionate increases in hospitalization due to premature births1 asthma and cardiovascular disease near fracking sites4 ,people of color living in proximity of truck traffic1 fracking wells1 and experience increased exposure to ultra fine particulate matter from exhaust and emissions near well pads4 7#h7 ,president ,obama joined other world leaders from the ,group of ,twenty in #bjji1 and again in #bjac1 in pledging to phase out wasteful fossil-fuel subsidies4 7#i7 ,the ,environmental ,law ,institute found that from #bjjb through #bjjh1 ,federal fossil-fuel subsidies in the ,united ,states totaled over #gb1jjj1jjj1jjj1 while ,federal renewable-energy investments totaled #ab1bjj1jjj1jjj4 7#aj7 ,according to the group ,taxpayers for ,common ,sense1 the #e largest oil corporations have made more than #a1jjj1jjj1jjj1jjj in profits during the past decade4 7#aa7 ,according to the ,center for ,american ,progress1 the #e largest oil corporations posted more than #hi1gjj1jjj1jjj in profits in #bjad alone4 7#ab7 ,according to the ,center for ,responsive ,politics1 the oil and gas1 coal1 utility1 and other natural resource extraction industries spent more than #a1hjj1jjj1jjj on lobbying during the period of #bjaj to #bjad1 which was an effective investment in protecting their extraordinary tax loopholes and subsidies4 #ajb4 ,sense of ,congress ,it is the sense of ,congress that3 7#a7 ,the ,united ,states must transition to a #ajj percent clean energy economy4 7#b7 ,it is not in the national interest for taxpayers in the ,united ,states to subsidize highly profitable1 polluting fossil-fuel companies4 7#c7 ,it is imperative that the ,united ,states ,government make extensive investments in grid modernization projects across the country4 ,according to the ,hawaii ,state ,energy ,office1 grid modernization refers to computer-based control and automation technology to bring current utility electricity delivery systems into the #bast century4 ,the benefits of grid modernization include improvements in efficiency1 reliability1 economics1 and sustainability of the production and distribution of electricity all the way from electricity generation to the user's home and workplace4 ,this will help ,states like ,hawaii that already have a #ajj percent renewable portfolio standard achieve its goals on a more aggressive timeline and will assist cities like3 ,burlington1 ,vermont2 ,aspen1 ,colorado2 ,baltimore ,city1 ,maryland2 ,greensburg1 ,kansas1 and every other city and ,state achieve #ajj percent renewable energy standards in a timely fashion4 7#d7 ,to meet the demands of a zero carbon economy using only renewable generation by #bjce1 significant investments in early stage energy technology breakthroughs1 grid scale storage technologies1 and loan guarantees for utility scale projects will be essential to meet the country's energy needs by #bjce4 ,the most pressing need will be replacing base load power with a wide range of storage technologies during times of intermittent renewable power generation4 ,these technologies are mostly in their early stages and will require a significant amount of funding to scale them for commercial or utility scale deployment4 7#e7 ,we must significantly increase ,federal ,r,d funding to develop and deploy the technologies needed for deep decarbonization in our economy4 ,this was a proposal announced at the ,paris ,climate ,accord with ,bill ,gates called ,mission ,innovation1 which committed to double government investment in energy technology4 7#f7 ,funding should be spread throughout the innovation pipeline at the ,u4,s4 ,department of ,energy as well as other ,federal agencies and departments including the ,national ,science ,foundation1 ,,nasa1 and the ,department of ,defense4 7#g7 ,we must invest in early-stage proof of concept technologies and basic scientific research at the ,department of ,energy's ,office of ,science through the #ag ,u4,s4 ,national ,laboratories will be needed to discover the scientific properties needed to produce proof of concept or prototype technologies4 ,the ,u4,s4 ,national ,laboratories are centers of basic scientific research already working on technology programs such as grid modernization and security1 battery storage1 solar and wind technology efficiency1 efficient transmission and distribution technologies1 and hard and software control systems for the grid4 ,focus on investing in early-stage breakthrough energy technologies4 ,funding these technologies could lead to innovations that could dramatically change how energy is generated1 stored1 and distributed4 7#h7 ,to rapidly move the country towards a #ajj percent carbon free economy1 it is crucial that the country deploys existing utility and grid scale technologies4 ,frequently1 companies seeking to deploy prototype commercial scale power plants cannot secure large traditional loans4 ,,doe's ,loan ,guarantee ,program must receive increased funding to provide loans for large renewable energy power plants4 7#i7 ,data released last year by the ,u4,s4 ,energy and ,information ,administration 7,,eia71 shows that the transportation sector has become the largest producer of carbon emissions as compared to other sectors of the economy4 ,for this reason1 ,congress must incentivize the transition to clean energy transportation technology as it pertains to ground1 air1 rail1 sea transportation and shipping in the most efficient1 economically friendly methods possible to ensure that jobs are protected and the cost of products remains affordable4 7#aj7 ,permitting rules that allow polluters to target poor communities for industrial facilities1 chemical plants1 and power plants must end immediately4 ,cumulative environmental impacts on human health and ecosystem impacts must be considered and remediated4 ,precaution for the health and safety of our children and planet should be valued above profit and must be updated4 7#aa7 ,we must achieve civil rights protections to ensure full access to the courts for siting poor and minority communities to seek legal protections by working to overturn the ,sandoval ,supreme ,court decision that set an unreasonable burden of proof of racism for claims of environmental racism1 including disparate and cumulative exposure to environmental health risks must be extended4 7#ab7 ,we strongly endorse the ,principles of ,environmental ,justice adopted at the ,first ,national ,people of ,color ,environmental ,leadership ,summit4 ,the goals and outcomes of any environmental justice plan should continue to be developed under the ,jemez ,principles for ,democratic ,organizing with strong and consistent consultation with the communities most affected by the often-unequal enforcement of environmental laws4 7#ac7 ,we must ensure that funding for parks and open spaces are distributed equitably in urban1 suburban1 and rural areas4 7#ad7 ,we must increase incentives for consumers who purchase zero emission vehicles1 from single use of ,,hov lanes1 to reduced registration fees4 7#ae7 ,we must continue to support ,state1 tribe and local campaigns that resist the current administration's efforts to undercut the efforts of ,states like ,hawaii1 and local governments that continue to support the ,paris ,climate ,agreement like ,baltimore ,city1 ,maryland1 ,burlington1 ,vermont1 and any other city or ,state that is working to achieve a #ajj percent clean energy standard4 7#af7 ,the ,united ,states is on the cusp of becoming a net exporter of natural gas4 ,any continued build-out of natural gas infrastructure and the use of eminent domain to take private land for transporting gas is not to benefit citizens of the ,united ,states4 ,instead it allows for massive profits for fossil fuel companies4 7#ag7 ,in addition to the specific changes made by this ,act1 we must also explore the methods used in regenerative agriculture that provide healthier1 grass-fed cows1 chickens and pigs that also restore farmland to its original condition4 ,this is vital if we hope to expand the market of regenerative farming and work to phase out harmful1 conventional practices that contaminate our water and deplete essential topsoil4 ,conventional1 large-scale farming is the cause of widespread topsoil depletion1 and is a contributor to greenhouse gas emissions4 ,there are better alternatives and sustainable solutions in the form of regenerative agricultural practices4 ,we should incentivize farmers who provide healthier food1 sustain the land and sequester carbon dioxide and methane4 7#ah7 ,in addition1 while the ,food and ,drug ,administration 7,,fda7 has implemented a voluntary plan with industry to regulate the use of certain antibiotics for enhanced food production1 this program must be made mandatory4 ,the ,united ,states ,government1 and governments around the world openly recognize the public health concerns associated with antimicrobial-resistant bacteria4 ,the illnesses connected to the use of drug-resistant strains of bacteria are on the rise1 becoming more common1 with potentially fatal consequences4 7#ai7 ,it is in the best interest of the country that ,congress establish permanent tax credits and start-up grants to encourage the production of ,geothermal1 ,ocean ,thermal ,energy ,conversion 7,,otec71 and ,ocean ,tidal energy4 7#bj7 ,falling oil prices1 coal company bankruptcies and other factors are contributing to a loss of extractive industry jobs4 ,for these reasons1 it is our responsibility to ensure comprehensive and just worker protection measures that guarantee future financial security for all workers affected by these economic downturns4 7#ba7 ,just transition to a clean energy economy will create jobs by fixing the market externality and creating a free and fair market for renewables1 which currently creates three times as many jobs as the fossil fuel industry4 ,these jobs must include the ability for workers to collectively bargain1 organize and otherwise enjoy facilitated access to unionization4 ,additionally1 investment in training in the growing portfolio of trades in the renewable sector is vital4 7#bb7 ,we know that green collar jobs are the present and future of industry from manufacturing and fabrication to solar installation and wind technicians which can fill the void of fossil fuel jobs which are never coming back4 7#bc7 ,this transition will improve the health of the citizenry by promoting energy choice that eliminates extractive processes that threaten natural resources including water quality1 air quality and needlessly shorten the lives of those threatened by the last vestiges of the fossil fuel economy4 7#bd7 ,any attempts to transition ,united ,states military equipment and infrastructure to renewable fuels must be done1 without exception1 with the safety and well-being of our men and women in uniform and the safety of our ,nation as the primary focus4 7#be7 ,regardless of the overall effects of this ,act1 it is the duty of ,congress to ensure that any transition to a #ajj percent clean energy economy does not adversely affect the economy of the ,united ,states4 ,we are committed to providing the necessary financial assistance to energy produces1 energy workers and energy technology creators in our combined efforts to save our planet from the adverse effects of global climate change4 7#bf7 ,without equivocation1 we must not only create new jobs for workers who have lost work1 but we must ensure that those new jobs are good jobs1 meaning they pay a family-sustaining wage1 they provide health care and retirement benefits1 they are safe1 and the workers who hold them have a powerful voice on the job through union organizing and the collective bargaining process1 especially those in the auto and fossil fuel industries4 ,moreover1 we must create these jobs in the same communities that are suffering4 ,while workers are transitioning to new employment1 they must receive protections to maintain family-level wages1 healthcare1 and pensions until they are able to start their new jobs4 ,further1 workers need support in connecting with new jobs and the opportunity to learn new skills through vocational education programs4 ,in addition1 communities must have the infrastructure to attract new investment that provides those jobs4 7#bg7 ,we have the technology to transition to #ajj percent renewable energy right now1 all that is missing is the political and social will4 ,,ii ,clean ,energy for ,all ,mandate #bja4 ,clean ,energy ,mandates 7a7 ,minimum annual percentage ,the minimum
