What this resolution does
Overview
This is a Senate resolution, a formal statement of the Senate's views that is not a law and does not create programs or spend money. Besides naming the week, it encourages federal, state, and local governments and individuals to invest in affordable, clean, and low-emitting energy technologies, supports reliable and affordable energy, and recognizes the role of entrepreneurs and small businesses in U.S. energy leadership. Its background statements cite a 2025 Energy Department report that found about 8.5 million people worked in U.S. energy and energy-efficiency jobs at the end of 2024. It was submitted on October 15, 2026, after the September week it names had passed, and was sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Supporters say
A national week recognizing clean energy draws attention to the jobs and new technology in a growing industry and encourages investment in affordable, reliable power.
Critics say
Ceremonial resolutions like this are largely symbolic and seldom draw organized opposition, though some object to the Senate singling out certain energy sources for praise over others.
