jurisdiction of the committee concerned ,,resolution ,recognizing the duty of the ,federal ,government to create a ,green ,real ,deal4 ,whereas ,united ,states greenhouse gas emissions have decreased approximately #aj percent since #bjje2 ,whereas the ,united ,states leads the world in gross emissions reductions2 ,whereas a clean energy economy is driven by a national commitment to innovation1 competitive markets1 and the deployment of advanced energy technologies1 and the success of this approach is visible in the ,united ,states where-- 7#a7 energy productivity has grown #ad percent since #bjji2 7#b7 the total production of natural gas has increased by #ef percent since #bjji2 and 7#c7 the installed wind and solar power capacity has quadrupled since #bjji2 ,whereas energy prices in the ,united ,states are historically low1 and energy costs make up less than #e percent of total ,united ,states personal consumption expenses2 ,whereas1 in #bjah1 ,united ,states businesses set records by-- 7#a7 tripling corporate procurement of clean energy2 7#b7 increasing liquified natural gas exports by #ace percent2 and 7#c7 increasing sales of electric vehicles by #hj percent2 ,whereas the ,department of ,defense1 on an ongoing basis and at the direction of ,congress1 has identified risks to military assets1 bases1 and national security from climate change1 and has developed opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve national security2 ,whereas #ac ,federal agencies1 at the direction of ,congress through the ,global ,change ,research ,act of #aiij1 have found that-- 7#a7 climate change creates new risks and exacerbates existing vulnerabilities in communities across the ,united ,states1 and that climate change threatens human health and safety1 quality of life1 and the rate of economic growth2 7#b7 communities1 governments1 and businesses are working to reduce risks from1 and costs associated with1 climate change1 by taking action to lower greenhouse gas emissions and implement adaptation strategies2 and 7#c7 while climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts have expanded substantially in the last #d years1 such efforts do not yet approach the scale considered necessary to avoid substantial damages to the economy1 environment1 and human health over the coming decades2 and ,whereas the ,house of ,representatives recognizes unprecedented demand for job-creating1 ,american-made1 clean energy1 and the need to empower individuals and businesses to come together in the marketplace1 as a historic opportunity to-- 7#a7 create millions of good1 high-wage jobs in the ,united ,states2 7#b7 enable equal opportunity to achieve unprecedented levels of prosperity and economic security for all people of the ,united ,states2 and 7#c7 secure the position of the ,united ,states as a global environmental leader3 ,now1 therefore1 be it ,that it is the sense of the ,house of ,representatives that-- 7#a7 it is the duty of the ,federal ,government to create a ,green ,real ,deal-- 7,a7 to achieve robust1 economy-wide greenhouse gas emissions reductions2 7,b7 to create more clean energy options through a commitment to innovation2 7,c7 to position the ,united ,states as a global leader in clean energy1 driving global investment in ,american-made clean energy technologies2 7,d7 to reduce and modernize regulations to speed deployment of clean energy technologies nationwide and worldwide1 and to affirm that the ,government should not pick winners and losers2 7,e7 to empower individuals1 ,states1 and the marketplace to invest in and implement clean energy technologies2 and 7,f7 to ensure that the infrastructure1 communities1 and military of the ,united ,states are resilient and adapting to long-term environmental1 climate1 and social change2 and 7#b7 the goals described in subparagraphs 7,a7 through 7,f7 of paragraph 7#a7 7referred to in this resolution as the ,green ,real ,deal goals7 should be accomplished by-- 7,a7 investing in carbon capture storage and carbon capture and use1 and otherwise reducing emissions or achieving net-zero emissions from energy produced from fossil fuels2 7,b7 investing in next-generation low- and zero-emission energy sources1 including renewable energy and nuclear energy1 especially small modular reactors2 7,c7 promoting the widespread use and deployment of next-generation recycling and waste management technology1 such as plastics-to-fuel initiatives1 and transforming postconsumer recycled plastic into new materials such as asphalt2 7,d7 modernizing the electric grid through strategic investments in transmission1 distribution1 and storage2 7,e7 allowing fair and equal access to energy development on ,federal lands2 7,f7 modernizing the implementation of the ,national ,environmental ,policy ,act of #aifi 7#db ,u4,s4,c4 #dcba et seq47 to drive investment in clean energy infrastructure1 especially multistate transmission and offshore wind2 7,g7 eliminating regulations that hinder or slow the deployment of advanced energy1 and creating a regulatory climate to encourage the use of clean1 renewable1 and innovative energy and recycling technologies2 7,h7 modernizing regulations governing hydropower development2 7,i7 establishing a voluntary framework for reporting and tracking carbon emissions1 renewable energy procurement1 and energy efficiency investment1 to increase investment in clean energy technology and improve transparency and accountability for the benefit of customers1 investors1 and shareholders2 7,j7 establishing robust homeowner tax incentives for energy efficiency upgrades1 including ,,hvac upgrades2 7,k7 expanding tax incentives for commercial building energy efficiency upgrades2 7,l7
