introduced the following bill2 which was
 referred to the ,committee on ,science1
 ,space1 and ,technology1 and in        
addition to the ,committees on ,energy

for a period to be subsequently         
determined by the ,speaker1 in each case
 for consideration of such provisions as
 fall within the jurisdiction of the    
committee concerned  ,a ,,bill  ,to     
authorize funding for certain offices

,short title ,this ,act may be cited as 
the ,clean ,energy ,innovation ,funding 
,act of #bjbj4  #b4 ,findings ,congress 
makes the following findings3  7#a7 ,the
 urgency of the ,,covid-#ai crisis and  
the climate crisis require us to advance
 job-creating innovation policies that  
reduce pollution as immediately as      
possible1 and one important step that we
 can take now is to increase our        
,federal investments in clean energy    

innovation4  7#b7 ,equally important1   
the far-reaching movement for racial    
justice requires us to root out racism  
on all fronts1 and one important way to 
do that is reduce toxic pollution that  
disproportionately impacts communities  
of color while building a more equitable
 energy system4  7#c7 ,the              
,intergovernmental ,panel on ,climate   
,change ,special ,report on ,global     
,warming of #a4e;,c released on ,october
 #h1 #bjah1 established a need for      
unprecedented global action to address  
climate-warming pollution in the next   
decade4  7#d7 ,fostering innovation in  
the development of zero-emission energy 
and industrial processes through        
increased funding for public research1  
development1 and demonstration is one   
essential piece of a broader suite of   
policies we must implement in order to  
meet global decarbonization goals4  7#e7
 ,the ,united ,states committed to      
doubling its public clean energy        
investments by fiscal year #bjba when it

 helped launch ,mission ,innovation1 a  
global initiative working to accelerate 
clean energy innovation1 with the       
,european ,union and #bb other countries
 in conjunction with the #bjae ,paris   
,agreement4  7#f7 ,while appropriations 
for clean energy research and           
development have grown since #bjae1     
current ,federal investments in clean   
energy are significantly behind the     
scale needed to spur decarbonization    
across the ,united ,states economy4     
7#g7 ,the ,american ,energy ,innovation 
,council and the ,international ,energy 
,agency have called for a tripling in   
clean energy funding to help ensure a   
more environmentally sustainable1       
secure1 and affordable energy system4

energy programs1 which include basic    
energy sciences1 biological and         
environmental research1 fusion research 
and advanced science computing research1
 are an important step in meeting       
,united ,states commitments to the      
,mission ,innovation goals and          
addressing the climate crisis4  7#i7 ,in
 addition to helping address the climate
 crisis1 these investments will also    
spur job growth1 new business           
opportunities and economic recovery2    
help reduce air and water pollution     
improve energy security1 help secure    
,united ,states leadership in clean     
technology innovation1 deployment1 and  
manufacturing2 and advance ,united      
,states economic competitiveness        
internationally as we develop and sell  
technologies globally4  7#aj7 ,increases
 in funding for these research and      
development programs are vital to       
addressing pollution from               
difficult-to-decarbonize sectors1 such  
as industry1 aviation1 shipping1 and    

heavy-duty transportation4  7#aa7       
,successful demonstration at commercial 
scale will be necessary to establish    
cost1 reliability1 and performance      
characteristics1 especially in          
technology related to industrial        
emissions1 energy storage1 and smart    
grid deployment4  7#ab7 ,according to   
the ,international ,energy ,agency1     
demonstration is an important part of   
the development of new technologies that
 includes design1 construction1 and     
operation of a prototype of a technology
 at or near commercial scale with the   
purpose of providing technical1         
economic1 and environmental information 
to industrialists1 financiers1          
regulators1 and policymakers4  7#ac7    
,department of ,energy research1        
development1 and demonstration have     
already resulted in innovation and cost 
reduction across clean energy           
technologies and1 with increased        
funding1 has the potential to accelerate
 these to benefit all sectors and       

communities4  #c4 ,sense of ,congress   
,it is the sense of ,congress that--    
7#a7 we must help accelerate our        
transition to a clean-energy economy by 
significantly increasing investments in 
,federal research1 development1 and     
demonstration that will foster needed   
advancements in clean energy and deep   
decarbonization across the economy2     
7#b7 increased research1 development1   
and demonstration funding for the noted 
programs is not sufficient on its own to
 address the climate crisis1 but it is  
an essential step that must be coupled  
with a suite of climate polices and     
investments to maximize adoption of     
cleaner processes and technologies2     
7#c7 in order to maximize the best use  
of this funding increase1 the           
,department of ,energy should use       
resources in a targeted fashion to      
address climate change1 such as by      
participating in strategic goal setting 
and engaging broadly with stakeholders1 
including industries1 utilities1 labor  

unions1 and impacted communities1       
especially environmental justice        
communities2  7#d7 increased ,federal   
investments in energy research must be  
used to create a more just energy system
 that fairly distributes clean energy   
benefits1 facilitates more              
representative and inclusive energy     
decision making1 and addresses the      
disproportionate burdens historically   
faced by low-income communities and     
communities of color2  7#e7 it is       
important for these programs to maintain
 a comprehensive approach to innovation 
that includes early-1 mid-1 and         
late-stage research1 development1 and   
market transformation activities2 and   
7#f7 a modernization of ,department of  
,energy clean energy programs would     
enable even greater progress to help    
address the climate crisis1 including-- 
7,a7 an update to the ,department of    
,energy's mission to explicitly include 
mitigating climate change and increasing
 climate resilience would reduce        

existing barriers to climate-related    
efforts and allow the ,department of    
,energy to specifically focus resources 
on emissions-reducing strategies2  7,b7 
expanded authorization to conduct       
workforce development1 quality job      
creation1 and social equity programs    
with a priority focus on communities of 
color1 ,tribal communities1 low-income  
communities1 deindustrialized           
communities1 and communities            
disproportionally impacted by climate   
change1 would better equip the applied  
energy offices to address these issues  
that will be key to mitigating climate  
change2  7,c7 increased emphasis and    
funding for demonstration and deployment
 programs would increase the ,department
 of ,energy's ability to get innovative1
 clean technologies into the market and 
ensure that our investments translate   
into domestic manufacturing and good    
jobs2 and  7,d7 elevate and target more 
resources toward the ,department of     
,energy's work to address               

difficult-to-decarbonize sectors1 such  
as transportation1 building1 and        
industrial sectors4  #d4 ,authorizations
