Climate-focused House Democrats on Monday detailed their plans for boosting investments in cleaner energy technologies, including shoring up federal support.
The new policy statement from members of the Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition (SEEC) sets in-depth priorities for clean energy policies, and shows the coalition moving forward with a shadow climate agenda even as Democrats are the minority party in Congress.
Democratic Reps. Kevin Mullin of California and Andrea Salinas of Oregon, who serve as co-chairs of the SEEC’s Innovation and Technology Task Force, detailed plans to improve federal investment in clean energy technology.
Among the group’s goals are expanding federal investment in clean energy technology, with a specific focus on making the technologies marketable — and ensuring the appropriations landscape stays stable enough to attract private investment in new technology.
