Senators call on Congressional leadership to accelerate America\u2019s energy independence and advance global competitiveness<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, the U.S. House of Representatives passed Sen. Ossoff\u2019s \u201cIndustrial Energy-Efficient Technology Act\u201d to create good-paying jobs and reduce energy bills for businesses in Georgia and nationwide<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washington, D.C. \u2014 <\/strong>U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff is continuing his work to reduce energy costs for Georgia\u2019s businesses and manufacturers and boost American competitiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Sens. Ossoff, Bob Casey (D-PA), and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) urged Congressional leadership to include key provisions in the upcoming American competitiveness bill to strengthen the country\u2019s energy efficiency and boost global competitiveness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Tina Smith (D-MN), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), and co-leads Representatives Kathy Castor (D-FL-14) and Mike Doyle (D-PA-18), as well as Sean Casten (D-IL-06) and Abigail Spanberger (D-VA-07) joined the letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs you negotiate a final compromise bill addressing American economic and technological competitiveness, we write to urge inclusion of three provisions in the House-passed America COMPETES Act,\u201d the members wrote.<\/strong> \u201cPrioritizing investments in our industrial base will not only improve efficiency and reduce GHG emissions and co-pollutants, but drive growth in energy communities across the nation, protecting and creating high quality jobs and increasing the global competitiveness of American companies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The State Flex-Tech Energy Program, amending the Clean Industrial Technology Act <\/em>(CITA), and the First Three program would rapidly scale energy-efficient solutions to reduce energy costs for businesses across Georgia and the nation and lower carbon emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sen. Ossoff has positioned himself as a leader in clean energy since he was first elected to the U.S. Senate last year. Sen. Ossoff\u2019s landmark Solar Energy Manufacturing for America Act<\/em> will help supercharge<\/a> domestic solar manufacturing and create tens of thousands of jobs in Georgia and nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sen. Ossoff also introduced<\/a> the Clean Energy for All Homes Act<\/em>, which would reduce the cost of installing renewable energy systems and help middle-class and lower-income families lower their energy bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last December, Sen. Ossoff introduced the Industrial Energy Efficient Technology Act<\/em> to develop the State Flex-Tech Energy Program and invest in energy efficient technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
