AL HR329

Urges U.S. Congress and President Obama to enact comprehensive clean energy and climate legislation to promote job growth, innovative energy development, and national security.

Cites that the United States currently spends approximately $1 billion per day on oil imports and could face $8.5 trillion in costs by 2030 without comprehensive clean energy legislation.

Notes that clean energy jobs are growing 250 percent faster than the rest of the economy, with projections for up to 2 million new jobs from comprehensive clean energy legislation.

Emphasizes that federal legislation should protect low and moderate income Americans from increased energy costs while supporting alternative energy sources including wind, solar, hydroelectric power, nuclear energy research, and clean coal technologies.

Requires copies of the resolution be sent to the President, Speaker of the House, President of the Senate, and each member of the Alabama Congressional Delegation.
