FL H1591

Urges Congress to pass comprehensive clean energy legislation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and create a unified national energy framework.

Cites projections that without clean energy legislation, foreign oil reliance could cost $8.5 trillion by 2030, while the U.S. currently spends approximately $1 billion daily on oil imports.

Highlights that clean energy employment has risen nearly 250 percent over the past decade and predicts up to 2 million new jobs from comprehensive clean energy legislation.

Requests legislation supporting renewable energy sources (wind, solar, wave, hydropower, biomass, biofuels) and advanced technologies while protecting low- and moderate-income citizens from energy cost increases.

Directs copies of the memorial be sent to the President, Senate President, House Speaker, and all members of the Florida congressional delegation.
