Bill Summary: HR 1449 - CLEAN Act
The CLEAN Act (HR 1449) aims to enhance the United States’ capacity to combat climate change by promoting clean energy initiatives and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The bill establishes a framework for federal investment in renewable energy technologies, energy efficiency programs, and infrastructure improvements.
Key Provisions:
Funding and Authorities: The bill authorizes significant federal funding for research and development in clean energy technologies, including solar, wind, and battery storage. It allocates grants to state and local governments to implement energy-efficient practices and to support the transition to renewable energy sources.
Programs and Agencies Affected: The Department of Energy (DOE) is the primary agency responsible for administering the provisions of the CLEAN Act. It will oversee the distribution of funds and the implementation of clean energy projects. The bill also encourages collaboration with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to ensure compliance with environmental standards.
Beneficiaries: The CLEAN Act is designed to benefit a wide range of stakeholders, including:
- State and Local Governments: Receive funding to enhance energy efficiency and renewable energy projects.
- Private Sector: Companies involved in clean energy technology development may access grants and support for innovation.
- Communities: Residents in areas implementing clean energy projects will benefit from improved air quality and potential job creation in the renewable energy sector.
Regulatory Framework: The bill establishes guidelines for emissions reductions and sets targets for transitioning to renewable energy sources, thereby regulating industries that contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.
Key Timelines: Following its introduction in the House, the CLEAN Act has been received in the Senate, read twice, and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources for further consideration. The timeline for potential enactment will depend on committee review and subsequent legislative actions.
In summary, the CLEAN Act represents a comprehensive approach to advancing clean energy initiatives, with a focus on federal investment, regulatory frameworks, and broad stakeholder engagement to address climate change effectively.
